Arab Region | Fragile states index, public services (Arab countries,2006–2020)
The public services indicator refers to the presence of basic state functions that serve the people. On one hand, this may include the provision of essential services, such as health, education, water and sanitation, transport infrastructure, electricity and power, and internet and connectivity. On the other hand, it may include the state’s ability to protect its citizens, such as from terrorism and violence, through perceived effective policing. Further, even where basic state functions and services are provided, the indicator further considers to whom – whether the state narrowly serves the ruling elites, such as security agencies, presidential staff, the central bank, or the diplomatic service, while failing to provide comparable levels of service to the general populace – such as rural versus urban populations. The indicator also considers the level and maintenance of general infrastructure to the extent that its absence would negatively affect the country’s actual or potential development. This is a Composite index (i.e. aggregating multiple sources)
