Within and Without the State (WWS) is a DFID-funded programme running from 2011-14,
piloting approaches to working with civil society to promote more accountable governance
in fragile contexts. WWS is working in four countries – South Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan,
and the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel (OPTI) – and also has a strong emphasis on
capturing and sharing its learning with others.
 
This paper reflects much of the programme experience gathered from WWS over the last two
years. Further details and more information are available from the case-studies and publications
listed in the ‘Resources’ section on page eight.
