While new research highlights pockets of progress in implementing humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus approaches, the focus remains too much on high-level planning and processes. Tangible changes in the lives and vulnerabilities of people in fragile contexts are yet to be achieved at any real scale.
Join us for a discussion with the authors of a new IASC publication mapping good practices in the implementation of HDP approaches globally. Hear from policy makers and practioners sharing practical insights from implementing nexus approaches in different contexts. Together we will explore solutions towards a future where HDP nexus approaches deliver more tangible changes for communities across the world. We look forward to seeing you there.

The event will explore how the sector can:
Focus efforts: how to amplify progress
Bridge the gap: how to connect planning with financing and programming
Have a lasting impact: how the three systems work across the nexus in challenging or fragile settings
Align coordination: how to better link international coordination with locally-led programming
Learn from experience: hear real life examples from humanitarians implementing nexus approaches in different contexts including Chad, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Somalia.
This event is part of ‘The Learning Curve’ - a new kind of online event featuring humanitarians from all over the world for opinion, live debate and video reflections. Expect a collaborative, fast paced, and varied format created to bolster your online collective learning experience.
