Country status as fragile according to the OECD Fragility Index
()
Data Source:
Additional Information

The OECD characterises fragility as the accumulation and combination of risks combined with insufficient capacity by the state, system, and/or communities to manage it, absorb it, or mitigate its consequences; the approach is based on the five dimensions deemed most relevant for measuring and identifying fragility: economic, environmental, political, security and societal. Each dimension is evaluated according to a number of indicators that measure the most important facets of risks and coping capacities relevant to fragility. The overall value or disaggregated values for one of the dimensions can be looked at, depending on needs. The scale for dimensions is divided in five segments between severe and minor. 
NB: In the States of Fragility Report, the OECD provides a list with countries that are considered fragile to varying degrees in the 5 different dimensions (rather than a ranking of countries). So, at impact level, the indicator would be: "country status as a fragile state" [yes/no]. Only the 56 countries that are identified as fragile are included in the report, so this indicator can be used for a sub-set of partner countries.
