ecdpm (2021) Discussion Paper No. 301 - Connecting the pieces of the puzzle: The EU's implementation of the humanitarian-development-peace nexus

This ECDPM discussion paper aims to help development, humanitarian and peacebuilding actors in the operationalization of the triple nexus. It is not focused on social protection, but it offers insights on how to find effective ways to work together whie respecting mandates of different actors involved in crisis contexts. Operationalising the triple nexus requires

experimentation and creativity, as well as a good dose of pragmatism. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but,

ultimately, working in an integrated way will require changes in mentalities and ways of working, as well as learning

from experiences in other contexts. Moreover, it is key to always maintain a people-centered approach.
