According to the U.N.-WBG Pathways for Peace study, for every $1 spent in prevention, around $16 is saved along the way. The World Bank has taken deliberate decisions to increase funds in fragile and conflict-affected situations from $7 billion $14 billion, and to increase presence of the World Bank in fragile states.
