Developing a diagnostic and action
framework for donor-assisted governance reform in
conflict-affected countries and fragile states was the
objective of a program implemented by the World Bank's
Social Development Department (SDV) and funded by the French
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The first phase of the program
developed lessons and outcomes based upon a review of
international experience of governance reform in fragile and
conflict-affected states. A major objective was to identify
specific approaches and activities that will be most
effective in strengthening institutions, promoting
transparency and accountability, and enhancing capacity at
local and national levels. This phase also derived lessons
on the utility and shortcomings of governance-related
diagnostic tools in designing and evaluating country
strategies and programs in fragile states. A key issue
concerns methodology. What type of analytical method
provides a more useful assessment: country-specific analyses
of the political economy, indicators designed for purposes
of cross-country comparison, indices that rank state
fragility, or some combination of diagnostic tools? The
second phase of the program also was in two parts. Cote
d'Ivoire's poverty reduction strategy process was
used as an entry point for an initiative that facilitated
process and method-oriented exercises for local stakeholders
on the how rather than the what of policy development in an
effort to build governance capacity. One result is a model
that may serve for future engagement in other fragile and
conflict-affected countries. The second part of this phase
is an ongoing effort to work with local partners in the
Central African Republic and Chad to identify strategies
that could strengthen access to justice at the local level.
Activities include assessing the strengths and weaknesses of
formal and informal justice systems and mapping
community-based practices and informal justice systems,
including some under the aegis of NGOs, as well as
identifying possible linkages to state justice systems. The
paper will first examine the concepts of state fragility and
governance in terms of donor engagement. Part two will
discuss the lessons (opportunities and constraints),
diagnostic tools and entry points for governance reform.
Part three will offer conclusions. |
