Perspectives of peacebuilding actors in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus
On 19 July, join us for the fourth session in the learning stream on the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, jointly organised by ICVA and PHAP.
This session will explore how peace actors see their role in the nexus – including both what humanitarian and development actors can learn from peacebuilding and how peacebuilding efforts can better work towards shared outcomes with other actors in the nexus.
