The Challenge
State failure poses a distinct set of development challenges. Virtually all reputable studies of state failure point to failures of governance as the key factors. The accelerated erosion or collapse of the social contract that characterizes state failure results in major, sometimes catastrophic, social disruptions. DCHA/DG believes that efforts to rebuild the social contract must be grounded from the beginning in the practices of democracy and good governance. Yet, neither the development community nor the international community of democracy advocates knows how to effectively harness or generate political will for democracy in failing state environments. The challenge is identifying from our experience and refining the development tools for building democracy and good governance that will be most effective in this new environment, and developing new tools, as needed, to assist failing and failed states to a condition in which transformational development becomes possible.
