IFPRI’s Fragility to Stability Policy Seminar Series

The “Fragility to Stability” IFPRI Policy Seminar series is an initiative led by IFPRI’s research team on fragility and conflict, showcasing work from across IFPRI’s five research themes, with the goal of responding to the urgent need for evidence-based, collaborative strategies to strengthen food, land, and water systems in FCA settings. This platform aims to share research-based lessons on what works to improve the well-being of individuals and communities in these challenging environments, as well as what gaps remain and where further innovation is needed. This seminar series is led by Katrina Kosec, Kibrom Abay, and Kate Ambler, and co-curated by Lucia Carrillo and Gillian Hollerich.

The seminar series centers on three themes: Anticipate and Prevent (disaster risk reduction and early action), Respond (effective policies and programming to address crises), and Recover (policies for long-term resilience and sustainable livelihoods in fragile settings). Each session brings together a diverse set of stakeholders—including policymakers, researchers, donors, and implementers—to share experiences, insights, and questions. This fosters rich dialogue that not only reflects different perspectives but also surfaces actionable ideas and lessons learned. The Fragility to Stability seminar series thus provides a platform where participants can openly discuss what has worked, what hasn’t, and what is needed to strengthen food systems in fragile settings.
