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
PSP Aims Objectives
Peacebuilding Support to the PCNA Pakistan (PSP) aims to implement the PCNA in order to improve trust in the state to help counter support for militancy. The programme will improve security, justice and governance service provision and enable citizens to exercise their rights. The PSP aims to lead to increased stability and therefore more progress towards the MDGs.

Programme Overview
The programme will support:

• Output 2 Strengthened Rule of Law (Security Justice) in KP
• Output 3 Two-way communications between the state and the people

These outputs will be supported by rigorous monitoring and evaluation and research. They will be delivered using a modular projects approach, in which successful interventions can be scaled up or rolled out to new target areas and unsuccessful interventions can be scaled down or shut off completely.
PSP will improve security, justice and representative governance through a combined supply and demand approach that:

• Strengthens service delivery through institutional development
• Enables citizens to engage with the state and articulate their demands through legal empowerment and improved communication channels
• Supports local community led security and justice provision to increase access
• Uses communication to improve relations between people and the state but also to put pressure on the state to be accountable and transparent.

Cross-cutting issues such as conflict, gender and human rights
To achieve its objectives, the programme will:

• Use a conflict sensitive approach
• Address gender inequality
• Address human rights as a conflict driver
• Use political engagement as an enabler

RIU Overview
The RIU is responsible for the Aitebaar PSP programmes research, monitoring and evaluation functions. It provides knowledge and information to the programming teams through rigorous research, to support them in their work. It tracks the progress of the programme toward achieving programme outputs and outcomes as specified in the programme log-frame and evaluates the quality and impacts of programme activities.
