Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s Task Team on the Humanitarian-Development Nexus in Protracted Crises and the UN Working Group on Transitions, Draft Plan of Action for Operationalising the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, 2016

Published Date

On 20-21 October 2016, in response to commitments made at the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS), the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s Task Team on the Humanitarian-Development Nexus in Protracted Crises and the UN Working Group on Transitions held a joint workshop in New York to increase collaboration amongst humanitarian, development and peace actors.

As a key outcome of the workshop, the participants developed a roadmap proposing that a select number of country teams will be invited (or to nominate themselves) for the implementation of the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus, while the UNWGT and IASC will provide support to the field through the development of guidance materials for joint analysis (including context/conflict, vulnerability and risk analysis) and strategic planning towards context-specific agreed collective outcomes for the short-, medium- and long-term. It was also agreed that the IASC and UNWGT would develop common messaging on the HDP nexus and its impact on the new way of working, and communicate these messages a broader range of stakeholders including the World Bank and Member States. These messages are aimed to seek stronger partnerships on the new way of working and support field implementation.

The Draft Plan of Action below is based on the Roadmap, and details activities to operationalise the implementation of the HDP nexus in the field and required complementary activities at the global level.
