Strengthening the Capacity of African Countries to Design and Implement Policies that Promote the Nexus between Peace, Humanitarian Work, Development and Human Rights for an Accelerated Implementation of the SDGs
This baseline assessment study contributes towards promoting the synergies between the pillars of peace and security, humanitarian work, development and human rights in order to accelerate sustainable development across Africa. Notably, the pivotal role of governance for the practical outcomes of policy implementation and service delivery cannot be understated. It provides a baseline assessment of the degree of awareness and capacity of African countries in formulating and implementing coherent and integrated policies on the nexus. It provides extensive literature on the concept and underlying principles and definitions of the peace, security, development and humanitarian linkage or triple nexus tracing its evolution against the background of the escalation of violent conflicts and crises over time including the Grand Bargain and New Way of Working (NWoW).
