1 IFC S CASA initiative Conflict Affected States in Africa Supporting private sector growth in Africa s fragile and conflict affected situations (FCS) The CASA geographic footprint SIERRA LEONE IFC's Conflict Affected States in Africa Initiative (CASA) is currently active in 13 countries: Burundi, the Central African Republic, Côte d Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zimbabwe AFRICA S FRAGILE STATES A greater focus on investment, trade, and entrepreneurship is helping many African countries build strong, stable economies. Still, in FY16, IFC classified 22 of sub Saharan Africa's 48 countries as 'fragile or conflict affected sitations' (FCS). These FCS suffer from ongoing or the legacy of past violence, and face serious economic challenges, including damaged infrastructure, small private sectors, and weak regulatory environments and institutions. Entrepreneurs in FCS often struggle to access capital and training, while governments in these countries operate with a limited tax base. THE CASA INITIATIVE Recognizing the special challenges fragile countries face, IFC launched the Conflict Affected States in Africa Initiative (CASA) in 2008 to help Africa s FCS rebuild their private sectors, create jobs, and attract investment. Supported by donor partners Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway (and by Denmark and Sweden in select countries) CASA: funds IFC advisory projects in FCS directly; provides market intelligence and advice; and helps governments strengthen their business environments. A flagship program of IFC FCS Africa Program, CASA positions coordinators in many of the countries where it operates, allowing them to work closely with public and private sector partners.

5 IFC AFRICA S 'fragility lens' Supporting private sector growth in Africa s fragile and conflict affected situations (FCS) IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is supporting development in all 22 of sub Saharan Africa s fragile and conflict affected situations (FCS), helping them strengthen their private sectors, create jobs, and reach lasting stability. Even the best-designed interventions in these countries can, however, produce unintended consequences. Complex political, economic, and social dynamics, and a climate of mistrust in some FCS means projects might even create more harm than good. For that reason, IFC s FCS Africa Program has developed a conflict-sensitive approach to working in countries recovering from conflict. IFC s fragility lens helps identify and navigate the complex workings of FCS, where risks and dangers are commonplace, but not always obvious. Only by understanding the past and present relationships among various, competing groups can a development organization like IFC effectively support private sector growth in FCS. Thanks to this innovation, IFC's FCS Africa Program and its Conflict Affected States in Africa Initiative (CASA) are fast becoming leaders in developing and promoting this conflict-sensitive approach. Applying the STEP 1 FRAGILITY LENS Collecting and screening existing country conflict analyses 1. A better understanding of the conflict context STEP 2 STEP 32 STEP 4 STEP 5 STEP 6 STEP 7 Identifying the key drivers of conflict Analyzing lessons from previous engagements Discussing the main findings among project manager(s), CASA coordinators, monitoring and evaluation officer and their impact on project components and environment Incorporating mitigation measures into the project design Monitoring the situation on the ground during project s implementation (and if required, adjusting the project) Evaluating the results of the project at its completion 2. An understanding of the twoway interaction between private sector intervention and the conflict 3. Minimizing negative impacts of the interventions on the conflict 4. Maximizing positive impacts of interventions on the conflict....producing 4 MAIN OUTCOMES
6 Country-level analysis is conducted with the Conflict Research Unit of the Clingendael Institute of the Netherlands. Project level analysis, which complements the work done at the country level, is implemented jointly by CASA experts and operational teams in respective countries. All CASA-funded projects are now required to incorporate the fragility lens. IFC s FCS Africa Program s goal is to help fragile situations attract investment that will support infrastructure, improve services, and create jobs and opportunities. Launched in 2008, The Conflict Affected States in Africa Initiative (CASA) is FCS Africa s Geography of the FRAGILITY LENS In order to show how IFC private sector development projects will help contribute to the reduction of fragility, IFC has applied its fragility lens in the following countries: Burundi Côte d Ivoire DRC Guinea Mali Somalia South Sudan Zimbabwe flagship program. CASA is supported by Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway. Denmark and Sweden offer support in select countries. Working with IFC's FCS Africa Program IFC's FCS Africa Program partners with governments, development and financial institutions, and other groups and individuals to maximize its impact in Africa.
