http://ec.europa.eu - The New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States was formulated by the International
Dialogue on Peace Building and State Building (IDPS) and presented at the Fourth High Level Forum on
Aid Effectiveness in Busan in December 2011 where it was endorsed by the EU along with 36 countries,
including 18 fragile countries, and 6 international institutions.
The New Deal is based on three pillars:
-the 5 Peace-building and State-building goals (Inclusive politics, security, justice),
-the FOCUS principles and
-the TRUST principles. It sets a framework that builds mutual trust and strong partnership .
