Operationalisation of the Fragility Index Maturation Model

MASAE, in partnership with Altai, was contracted by UNDP to operationalise the Fragility Index Maturation Model in Jubaland, Somalia. The goal was to model how macro-economic parameters influence socio-economic outcomes and to quantify the impact of interventions in fragile contexts.

Why This Matters

Understanding and measuring fragility is crucial for effective development planning and risk mitigation. The Fragility Index provides a framework for tracking progress, identifying vulnerabilities, and tailoring interventions to local realities.

Our Approach

  • Platform and Data Science Development:
    Built a modelling tool to analyse the relationship between economic factors and fragility.

  • Custom Indicators:
    Developed metrics tailored to the Somali context, enabling nuanced analysis.

  • Capacity Building:
    Supported local stakeholders in using the model for ongoing monitoring and planning.

Results and Impact

The model gave UNDP and its partners a powerful tool for evidence-based decision-making, helping to guide investments and strategies for building resilience in Somalia.

MASAE was commissioned by AFD to build the Sahel Alliance Open Data Portal—a comprehensive database and dashboard for managing project portfolios and results data. The platform was designed to support more than 500 projects, representing a budget of nearly €1.8 billion, and to provide stakeholders with transparent, accessible information on development activities across the Sahel region.
