This study asks whether the financing of recovery efforts is consistent with the international architecture in place to promote the transition from crisis to sustainable development in fragile and conflict-affected states.

The recommendations of the study are based on a mapping and comparative analysis of humanitarian, development and climate adaptation pooled financing mechanisms at the global and country levels. Findings are taken to reveal that the current financing practice reinforces rather than bridges a silo approach towards recovery efforts. The study highlights practical steps to enhance the effectiveness of country-level development pooled financing mechanisms for recovery.
