00:00 Fragility,

00:01 conflict,

00:02 and violence are afflicting more countries than ever before.

00:06 They threaten children's lives in the short term,

00:09 and over the long term,

00:11 they threaten all of the development progress that we've made.

00:15 That's why UNICEF congratulates our partners at the

00:18 World Bank for its new strategy on fragility,

00:21 conflict,

00:21 and violence.

00:23 This represents the bank's largest ever investment in these countries

00:28 and a bold recognition that in the midst of a protracted crisis,

00:32 development cannot wait.

00:35 It's a new opportunity to rally the world behind the children and families

00:40 who live in the most difficult places.

00:43 One that works hand in hand with the bank's Ida 19 commitments to

00:48 support governments and institutions as they

00:51 prevent systems collapse in fragile settings.

00:55 The strategy is also a chance

00:58 for UNICEF and the World Bank

01:00 to do even more together in fragile contexts

01:03 system by system,

01:05 institution by

01:06 institution.

01:07 We can build stronger communities that can

01:10 serve their people better in the years ahead

01:13 because investments in fragile countries are

01:16 not just investments in today's needs,

01:19 they are investments in the future.

01:22 And investments in children and young people who will one day carry peace,

01:27 progress,

01:28 and prosperity forward

01:30 for future generations.

Fragility, conflict, and violence are afflicting more countries than ever before. They threaten children's lives in the short term, and over the long term, they threaten all of the development progress that we've made. That's why UNICEF congratulates our partners at the World Bank for its new strategy on fragility, conflict, and violence. This represents the bank's largest ever investment in these countries and a bold recognition that in the midst of a protracted crisis, development cannot wait. It's a new opportunity to rally the world behind the children and families who live in the most difficult places. One that works hand in hand with the bank's Ida 19 commitments to support governments and institutions as they prevent systems collapse in fragile settings. The strategy is also a chance for UNICEF and the World Bank to do even more together in fragile contexts system by system, institution by institution. We can build stronger communities that can serve their people better in the years ahead because investments in fragile countries are not just investments in today's needs, they are investments in the future. And investments in children and young people who will one day carry peace, progress, and prosperity forward for future generations.
