Abstract

The linkages between humanitarian response, development activity, and peacebuilding efforts are not new, nor are calls for need for nexuses approaches to implementation. Due to the increase of protracted, complex crises around the globe, governments, donors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and civil society organizations (CSOs) are working to navigate how to best implement the nexus, amidst a range of challenges. While the justification and need for this is clear, there is limited support tools available to enable implementation and guide decision making. The nature of the nexus is inherently multifaceted, resulting in a range of potential strategies to be considered, about when and why transitions are made. This article presents a multidisciplinary methodology to identify strategies and best practices to navigate the nexus. The tool is organized around three steps: first, recognizing the type of situation process; second, identifying the role that each stakeholder plays and third, defining strategies. The framework elaborated upon with three case studies: (1) DR Congo's healthcare system's response to the Ebola crisis and its transition into the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) the displacement of the Rohingya people, and (3) the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan. This research contributes to a better understanding of the nexus through the development and application of a decision-making tool, laying the foundation for a facilitating the implementation of the nexus in practice.
