Over 15 million people in the Middle East and North Africa region have become displaced over the past few years, with a growing presence in middle income countries (MIC). This influx is one manifestation of fragility in the region. Host countries are providing a public good to the world by delivering services to the refugee population. Al-Shabaka Program Director Alaa Tartir joins the World Bank/IMF at their 2015 conference in Lima, Peru, to discuss possible solutions to the challenges posed by fragility in the middle income country context.
