Forced Displacement and the Humanitarian-Development Nexus: A Roundtable Anthology

Sammanfattning

Working Paper, June 2021

Following calls for a “New Way of Working” to achieve Agenda 2030 and
commitments made at the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit,
policymakers have increasingly looked to the “nexus approach” to address
protracted forced displacement crises. This approach can be defined as an
aim to strengthen collaboration, coherence, and complementarity across
humanitarian, development, and peace actions by focusing on collective
outcomes and sustainable solutions. The 2018 Global Compact on
Refugees (GCR), for example, emphasises the importance of nexusoriented refugee responses to ease pressures on host countries and
enhance refugee self-reliance, particularly in cases of protracted
displacement.
