Description
<p>The Within and Without the State (WWS) programme is using a variety of approaches to strengthen civil society and promote more accountable governance in conflict-affected and fragile contexts. The programme is working in Afghanistan, Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel, South Sudan and Yemen.</p>
<p>This case study is focused on the work in South Sudan. Here WWS is bringing citizens and those in power together – enabling them to engage in dialogue and work together for development. This approach promotes the idea of a ‘social contract’ between citizens and those at different level of governance. Each has their own rights and responsibilities to fulfil; by doing so, and engaging constructively with each other, they are able to promote accountability, transparency and mutual trust, and build a more effective state.</p>
