Abstract:
Health systems in fragile states lose their resilience to shocks and overall capacity to serve their populations. Rebuilding them requires concentrated efforts by both the state and non-state actors (NSAs). However, weak state capacity often renders NSAs to take on more responsibility than the state and widen their involvement in building health systems in these states. Understanding the influence of NSAs’ interventions on the health systems of fragile states is vital towards building resilient and self-sustaining health systems which is the main goal of this thesis. This will be done in the context of the top five fragile states (Yemen, Somalia, Syria, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo) according to the Fragile State Index 2021
