DEVCO – ETTG/DIE web Infopoint event: Humanitarian-Development- Peace Nexus

A discussion on implementation challenges and opportunities

This event will provide an excellent opportunity to present and discuss the ETTG Policy Brief “EU humanitarian aid: Caught between nexus and independence” with representatives from DG DEVCO, DG ECHO and the EEAS. The publication analyses current issues in the EU’s humanitarian aid with a particular focus on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) nexus.

This Infopoint session aims at discussing the opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of the HDP nexus, including how to best adapt institutional cultures, how to ensure a localized approach, and how to best integrate the peace element.

During the last part of the session, the audience will have the chance to ask questions and send comments to the speakers.
