Our main focus is on a set of development indicators that capture seven of the Millennium Development Goals, but the author also look briefly into the effect of conflict and fragility on growth, human rights abuses, and democratization. The author analyze these relationships using a variety of methods, averages by conflict and fragility status; cross-sectional regression analyses of change in each indicator over the time frame for which we have data; fixed-effects regression analyses of the impact on each indicator for each five-year period 1965-2009; as well as occasional panel time series models and matching techniques. In section two, the author summarizes the methodological choices and presents our conflict data. Section three summarizes the results of our analysis. Finally, section four analyzes the effects of internal armed conflict on the attainment of the individual Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH CAREADEQUATE SANITATION FACILITIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONARMED CONFLICTARMED CONFLICTSARMED FORCEARMED FORCESBATTLEBATTLESBOMBARDMENTCHILD MORTALITYCIVIL CONFLICTCIVIL CONFLICTSCIVIL WARCIVIL WARSCOLLATERAL DAMAGECOMBATCONFLICT COUNTRIESCONFLICT COUNTRYCOST OF WARCOUNTERFACTUALDEATHSDEMOCRACYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT GOALSDIETDISABILITYDISCRIMINATIONDISEASESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INTEGRATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESEARCHETHNIC FRACTIONALIZATIONFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE LIFE EXPECTANCYFIGHTINGFOOD INSECURITYFORCED MIGRATIONFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGNERSGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER PARITYGOOD GOVERNANCEGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGUERILLAHEALTH CONSEQUENCESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH INFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH-CARE SYSTEMHIVHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN SECURITYIMPACT OF CONFLICTINCOMEINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINTERNAL CONFLICTINTERNAL CONFLICTSINTERNATIONAL COMMITTEEINTERNATIONAL RELATIONSINTRASTATE CONFLICTLARGE POPULATIONSLIFE EXPECTANCYLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMASS MOVEMENTMATERNAL MORTALITYMEASLESMEDICAL PERSONNELMEETINGSMILITARY ACTIVITYMILITARY EXPENDITUREMILITARY EXPENDITURESMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMILLION PEOPLEMINORITYMORTALITY LEVELSNATIONSNEIGHBORING CIVIL WARNOURISHMENTNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF PEOPLEPEACEPEACE RESEARCHPEACEKEEPINGPOORPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION SIZEPOST-CONFLICTPOST-CONFLICT COUNTRIESPOST-CONFLICT PERIODPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL AGEPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SPENDINGREFUGEEREFUGEE CAMPSREFUGEESRESPECTRISK FACTORSRISK OF CONFLICTRISK OF DEATHRISK OF WARROADSRURAL POPULATIONSSAFE WATERSANITATIONSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSMALL COUNTRIESSOCIAL SERVICESSOLDIERSOLDIERSTRANSPORTATIONTRAPTUBERCULOSISUNDERDEVELOPMENTUNESCOUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT FUND FOR WOMENUNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCILUNIVERSAL EDUCATIONVICTIMSVIOLENCEVIOLENT CONFLICTVIOLENT CRIMEWARWARFAREWARSWEAPONSWORLD DEVELOPMENTWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27502
