Donor perspectives on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus

Join us for the fifth and final session in ICVA's and PHAP's learning stream on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, focusing on how major donors are approaching the "nexus."

On 11 September, ICVA and PHAP will organize the fifth and final session in the learning stream on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. After having explored how the three main types of actors in this nexus view the current processes and discussions, join us for a discussion on how donors are approaching the issue.

The event will feature Barbara Lecq from the UK Department for International Development (DFID), Hugh Macleman from the OECD, and Barnaby Willits-King from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and will focus in on questions such as:

  • How would donors like to see humanitarian, development, and peace work coming together in all phases of the programming cycle – including assessments, planning, prioritization, programming, and funding allocations?
  • How do donors view the humanitarian principles, the SDGs, and UN reform in this context?
  • How are donors considering to reform their own funding behaviors to enable the changes they would like to see? 

As part of the learning stream on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, this event will be the last session of five live interactive online learning events that ICVA and PHAP have organized on the topic. The purpose of these sessions is to provide NGOs and aid workers with a stronger understanding of the efforts to overcome the divide between the humanitarian, development, and – when appropriate – peace communities.
