Development and humanitarian nexus

The Development and Humanitarian Nexus refers to the connection between efforts to promote long-term growth and stability (development) and those aimed at providing immediate relief during crises (humanitarian aid). In simpler terms, it recognizes that helping communities recover and thrive doesn’t just happen through emergency assistance; it also involves building sustainable systems, like education and healthcare, to prevent future crises. By integrating both approaches, organizations can ensure that immediate needs are met while paving the way for lasting improvement in people's lives and resilience against future challenges.
