Designed to deepen understanding of fragility, this publication sets out ways ADB can drill down to the root causes of risk and work with communities and partners to build effective solutions for vulnerable developing member countries.

It describes the aggregate country classification tool ADB uses to assess fragility and explains why a multidimensional approach helps tackle increasingly complex and intense risks. It addresses the structural, economic, and environmental dimensions of fragility, explains how climate change creates a multiplier effect, and emphasizes the need for ADB to develop more nuanced approaches that deliver intended development outcomes.
