The g7+ 

7 billion people on the planet

Over 20% live in fragile states

… at last …

a global voice

The g7+ is a group of 18 of the world’s most fragile states. We come together to:

• share experiences; and
• lobby international actors to engage more effectively in fragile and conflict-affected countries and regions.

Our aim is to support state-led transitions from fragility to agility, building improved aid and aid mechanisms. Together, we can improve the lives of millions of people across the world.

Established in April 2010 in Dili, Timor-Leste, the group has grown from its original membership of 7 states to include countries across Asia, Africa and the Pacific, representing 350 million people globally.

g7+ members: Afghanistan, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, Liberia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Sierra Leone, The Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Timor-Leste, and Togo

Since its inception, the g7+ has developed an increasingly coherent agenda that provides an understanding of fragility from the perspective of fragile states themselves. The g7+ believes that a deeper understanding of the social, economic, political, historical, linguistic, geographic and cultural landscapes of these countries is crucial in assisting transition out of fragility.
