Abstract
This report is part of the Fragile, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) health knowledge notes series that highlights operational tips to resolve health issues in FCV situations. In FCV situations, successful service delivery depends on extensive situational analysis (for example, political economy, forms of violence, rent-seeking behavior/motivations), close monitoring and flexibility and rapid response mechanism against shocks or threats. This report answers five questions related to FCV situations and service delivery.

    Non-Communicable Diseases in Fragile, Conflict, and Violence Situations
    (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018-01) Carrette, Sheila; Dong, Di; Hasumi, Takahiro
    The global burden of disease has shifted from that of communicable to non-communicable diseases (NCD) in many countries. This note highlights the need for investment, as well as best practices in designing, implementing and evaluating a project that includes an NCD focus or component within an fragile, conflict, and violence (FCV) setting.

    Health Financing in Fragile, Conflict and Violence Situations
    (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2019-07) Dong, Di
    Levels and efficiency of health services financing in fragile, conflict and violence (FCV) countries are significantly low. FCV countries face more challenges in each of the health financing domains namely resource mobilization and pooling, resource allocation, purchasing, and service provision. This note discusses the issues and solutions around generating and pooling financial resources and maximizing the efficiency of existing money (purchasing).

    Dealing with GAC Issues in Project Lending : The Special Case of Fragile and Conflict-Affected States
    (Washington, DC, 2013) World Bank
    The principal objective of the Bank's governance work should be to help develop capable and accountable states to deliver services to the poor, promote private-sector-led growth, and tackle corruption effectively. The agenda for action has been defined, new tools and approaches have been developed, and governance and anticorruption (GAC) issues and concerns are increasingly being mainstreamed in the Bank's operational work at the country, sector, and project levels. With the introduction of the operational risk assessment framework (ORAF), the Bank has undertaken a major effort to improve how it manages GAC risks in the development projects and programs it supports. This note provides principles-based advice and guidance to task teams working at the sector and project levels on fragile and conflict-affected states (FCS) countries in Africa. It aims to provide a common conceptual framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities they face in project design, implementation, and supervision; highlight key lessons learned and good practice examples from others working in this area; and suggest some topics where further work is needed to understand and mitigate key operational risks. A communications strategy that frames GAC issues in a constructive way, seeks to take into account the concerns and perspectives of all stakeholders involved, enhances the understanding of constraints and opportunities, and strengthens the project's incentives for improving governance and reducing corruption. In FCS countries, constraints are likely to include severe weaknesses in institutional capacity; thus the project design should include an explicit strategy and action plan for institutional strengthening, as well as explicit, measurable indicators of progress.

    Using Technology in Fragile, Conflict, and Violence Situations
    (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018-01) Garber, Kent; Carrette, Sheila
    Many technologies are now widely used by humanitarian and development partners to collect data, improve planning and project implementation, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation in fragile and conflict-affected contexts and many other technologies are in the pipeline. Within the World Bank, there is growing interest to incorporate technology more strongly into FCV projects; at the same time, there is also a recognition that technology is not a “one size fits all” solution, and some technologies may be more appropriate for certain contexts than others. This note offers some basic guidance to Task Team Leaders (TTLs) on how to approach this “new frontier” when considering the use of technology in FCV health projects. Five key questions to be answered: i) What challenges can technology help address in FCV settings?; ii) What basic enabling factors should be assessed for technologies in FCV settings?; iii) What risks and limitations should be considered with these technologies?; iv) How have technologies been used in World Bank FCV health projects? and v) What disruptive technologies are on the horizon?

    Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Fragile, Conflict, and Violence Situations
    (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2018) Dong, Di
    Mental health challenges in fragile, conflict, and violence (FCV) situations are increasingly recognized by countries and international humanitarian and development agencies. This note highlights the best practices in designing, implementing, and evaluating a project involving a mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) component.
