This event took place on 18 March 2025 during the Humanitarian Networks and Partnerships Week (HNPW).
While the international system struggles to practically implement humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus approaches, local and national actors (LNAs) are already making it work – naturally integrating the three pillars in their work with communities. Yet still the voices and experiences of LNAs remain sidelined from system discussions and learning around the nexus.
We brought together LNAs and international actors for a dynamic session where we confront the limitations of the current system and explore the transformative potential of locally-led nexus approaches.
It featured:
- Practical examples from local and national actors who are pioneering community-driven joined up practices
- Insights from ALNAP ’s new research putting LNAs at the centre of the HDP nexus conversation
- Critical discussions with international stakeholders on how they can better support LNAs in their nexus work, especially in these uncertain times
Register today! We look forward to seeing you there.
