Background information

Poor governance and lack of access to security and justice in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) are undermining political stability in Pakistan and hindering progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).DFIDs 2011 Country Governance Analysis identifies declining governance indicators, including access to justice, as drivers of instability and underdevelopment in Pakistan, but notably in KP and FATA.Since the Government of Pakistan (GOP) completed its Post-Crisis Needs Assessment Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Federally Administered Tribal Areas (PCNA) in 2010, Pakistan has remained in a state of crisis. The crisis drivers identified by the PCNA include a systemic failure to protect basic rights, a lack of accountability of the administrative system, minimal avenues for participation of civil society in public affairs and substantial weaknesses in governance and rule of law that created space for militants to claim to deliver speedier justice. There is a fundamental lack of trust in the capacity of existing institutions to deliver services fairly and address needs. Corruption is a further driver of the crisis
