The Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus Interim Progress Review

In February 2019, the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) adopted its Recommendation on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus and tasked the International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF) with overseeing its operationalisation. This interim report, presented in advance of the monitoring report due in 2024, is a preliminary stocktaking exercise for the purpose of joint learning and as input for future events, including the high-level follow-up Partnership for Peace roundtable in May 2022. It analyses DAC and United Nations (UN) adherents’ efforts to align with the principles of the DAC Recommendation.

The aim of this report is to take stock of achievements and lessons so far, and feed the ongoing collective reflection on how to put the nexus approach into practice. It is not intended as a full assessment of adherents’ progress against the objectives of the DAC Recommendation: this will be part of the formal monitoring report in 2024.
