Citizens, State, and Good Governance: Building a 'Social Contract' in South Sudan

The report titled "Citizens, State, and Good Governance: Building a 'Social Contract' in South Sudan" is an insightful exploration by Oxfam into innovative approaches that foster accountable governance in South Sudan. The report details the Within and Without the State (WWS) program, which actively engages civil society organizations (CSOs) and power-holders in dialogue to promote transparency, accountability, and mutual trust. The document underscores projects that bolster civil society networks, public accountability, and women's decision-making. Furthermore, it offers practical insights into how CSOs can support governance reforms in fragile and conflict-affected settings. This report is particularly relevant to land governance as it provides a framework for establishing trust and accountability in unstable regions.
