In response to the complex nature of protracted refugee situations, the Government of Canada is developing a 'whole-of-government' approach built on its specific areas of expertise and policy priorities. Adapted from the source document.

Gray zone warfare has increasingly been the strategy selected by states that are determined to influence change without the risk of major escalation to outright military war. It is a significant concern today, threatening U.S. national security as well as the security of U.S. allies and partners. Although warfare is traditionally led by the Department of Defense (DoD), as the use of gray zone warfare increases and evolves, a whole-of-government approach that incorporates the unique capabilities of Federal departments and agencies for this fight is needed. ; https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1935/thumbnail.jpg

Since national security interests have played a role in donor's engagement in fragile states and situations, development actors have seen new political and security actors entering these theatres. Hence, development actors and practices have been subjected to new pressures, not least to the expectations for rapid results that accompany the heightened political profile of these donor engagements. As the case of Afghanistan has demonstrated, such pressures multiplied once donor governments had 'boots on the ground'. On this background, the ambition of this report is to take stock of evaluations of WoGAs in order to answer: 1) if national WoG approaches work according to their objectives of improving joined-up governmental responses to state fragility and conflict; and 2) if it is possible to identify how WoGAs influence the outcomes of international interventions in areas of fragile statehood. The report describes the evolving approaches of the UK, the Netherlands and Denmark, and has identified evaluations and reports that deal with these donors' activities in Afghanistan, Somalia, (Southern) Sudan, DRC, Burundi and Sierra Leone.

In this article, the authors discuss "whole‐of‐government" initiatives as a reaction to the negative effects of New Public Management reforms such as structural devolution, "single‐purpose organizations," and performance management but also as a reaction to a more insecure world. The authors examine what is meant by a "whole‐of‐government" approach and explore how this concept might be interpreted in analytical terms. The structural approach is contrasted with a cultural perspective and a myth‐based perspective. Finally, results, experiences, and lessons from the whole‐of‐government movement are discussed.
