3 1. FRAGILE STATES States or territories under threat (environmental, economic, physical, social, etc). SIDS, Landlocked, countries emerging from conflict. Government incapable of providing basic services such as education, health, safety and security (DFID). Low-income country with CPIA (Country Policy and Institutional Assessment) score of 3 or less, or LICUS (Low Income Countries Under Stress) (World Bank, OECD). Threats to the authority, legitimacy and capacity of the State (Canadian International Development Agency, CIDA). Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 3

6 2.1 Small Island Developing States: Profiles Geographically constrained Small geographic size Small population size Under diversified economic structure Dependent on resource-based and primary commodities Highly specialised (agriculture and tourism) Narrow range of resources Small domestic and regional market Highly dependent on international trade (vulnerable to global trade). High trade openness: trade flows (i.e. commodity exports and imports relative to GDP) are higher in SIDS than in DCs and LDCs. High volatility in trade related to vulnerability to external shocks. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 6
7 2.1 Small Island Developing States: Constrains Vulnerable to natural disasters: Almost 4 millions Caribbean citizens affected by natural disaster during period Ability to bounce back from negative impact of natural hazards is hampered by geography, population size, economic structure. Volatile macroeconomic performance: high output growth volatility has adverse impacts on long-term growth and on the poor. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 7

Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 14
15 2.2 Impacts Damage to the natural environment. Economic: Active hurricane season in 2004 caused damage amounting to circa US$ 3.1 billion (e.g. 10 % of GDP in Jamaica and more than 200 % in Grenada). Social: loss of human life, disruption on public services, migration and break-up of families, increased risks of disease, lack of access to health and education facilities, worsened public infrastructure. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 15
16 Repeated setbacks resulting from the destruction of economic and social capital perpetuate the poverty cycle and can act as a catalyst for turning natural hazards into natural disasters. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 16
17 Women suffer the most: they represent 70% of the world s estimated 1.3 billion poor. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 17
18 3. RESULTS Vulnerability operates through trade: more diversified economies are more able to offset greater import expenditure in the aftermath of a disaster through higher export receipts. SIDS with relatively more specialized export structure are more vulnerable to disasters. The case of Singapore (the highest income SIDS) shows that an island economy can successfully stabilize both employment and price levels by adopting innovative macroeconomic policy mixes. Poverty exacerbated by hazards and natural disasters. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 18
19 Gender inequalities repercussions for the welfare of society: women most vulnerable. Women disadvantaged in access to resources and a good standard of living. Remittances constituted the largest share of the poor s supplemental income (87 % in Jamaica). Women receive the greater portion of the remittances. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 19
20 4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS Reducing vulnerability to hazards through mitigation and adaptation is critical, and should be a key component of economic policy in SIDS. Macroeconomic policies can play stabilization and growthpromoting roles in highly-open small economies. But this requires appropriate institutional frameworks to regulate the labour market, mobilization of savings, movements of short-term capital and the government s fiscal behavior. Given high aid-dependency, aid delivery and management should be improved. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 20
21 Implications for governance, poverty, etc., of catastrophic events (e.g. Haiti s recent earthquake) show the poor institutional framework of SIDS to respond to environmental, economic and social vulnerability. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 21
22 5. WAY FORWARD SIDS could be better off by pooling regional capacity and resources: furthering intra-regional flows of goods, services, capital and labour. Strengthen institutions absorptive capacity. Diversification of production and trade. Implementation of risk reduction policies that consider gender disparities and other vulnerable groups. Amelia U. Santos-Paulino, UNU-WIDER 22
