“…As Guinote (2018) writes, “the purpose of humanitarian action is to save lives, minimize suffering, and protect the dignity of people … wherever and whoever they may be.” If this commitment to neutrality shifts to accommodate the priorities of other parts of the nexus, or is even perceived by conflict actors as being politicized, Guinote argues that some groups may be left out of reach, such as those less favored by authorities. Tronc et al (2019) make a similar argument: “In many operational environments, the perceived legitimacy of humanitarian actors’ aims and activities is tenuous. The ‘triple nexus’ can only succeed if … linkages do not lead to the perception … that humanitarian action has been subsumed by a political agenda” (p. 27).…”

Rethinking the Triple-Nexus: Integrating Peacebuilding and Resilience Initiatives in Conflict Contexts

The triple-nexus was introduced as a conceptual framework to link humanitarian aid, international development, and peace initiatives. However, the peace component was largely undefined, and there was little consideration as to how these components might be integrated within programs. In this article, we revisit the nexus with a focus on how the peace component can best be integrated with resilience programs in conflict contexts. Specifically, we draw from qualitative fieldwork in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, and South Sudan, to analyze how local communities are using integrative peace/conflict approaches to enhance resilience in contexts with ongoing violence. We develop a typology of peace/conflict approaches, identify challenges to peacebuilding within the framework, and propose locally led processes for rethinking the nexus for protracted conflicts. We maintain that a hyper-local approach to community problem-solving is where the peace component of the triple-nexus can be most effective in fragile contexts.

“…Therefore, "aid is often programmed according to sectoral silos." In addition, 132 Analysts have written that, due to the fact that "the humanitarian development aid architecture is strictly segregated, divided by mandates and rules that were originally designed to meet different kinds of needs," there is a risk that "this rigidity is hampering the aid system's ability to manage risks and rapidly respond to shocks and stress (Tronc, Grace & Nahikian, 2019 The other good example of the inter-sector collaboration for humanitarian aid and development sectors is the 3RP. The 3RP stands for Regional, Refugee, and Resilience Plan.…”

This paper focuses on discussing development, humanitarian aid, and peace-making notions alongside their historical backgrounds. Different development approaches and methodological dimensions of development were examined through the development process of Turkey. Humanitarian aid was also handled from a historical perspective. The natural and manmade disasters that humanity has faced in recent years and the performed humanitarian interventions were examined. The interaction points for humanitarian aid, development, and the concept of Triple Nexus, a new concept that meets this process, were also examined. According to the chronology of notions, this study first examines the concept of development with the literature research method, and then the literature research results on the concept of humanitarian aid were included. Descriptive research and observation methods, which are among qualitative research methods, were applied in this paper holistically.

“…However, there has been significant criticism of the Triple Nexus concept and its implementation. Humanitarian actors are concerned that integration with “peace” is a guise for securitised approaches and that they will be asked to collaborate not with peacebuilding actors but rather with militaries engaged in stabilisation and counter-terrorism (Tronc et al, 2019). There is also fear that powerful Western donors are pushing reforms to demonstrate cost-effectiveness in an era of public scepticism towards aid and to meet security rather than humanitarian or developmental objectives, principally stemming the flow of migration.…”

Localisation Across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus

Whilst the relation between local and global levels has been a long-standing concern of humanitarian, development, and peace efforts, in recent years the term “localisation” has become a major issue in the humanitarian sector whilst peacebuilding scholarship has taken a “local turn.” This article analyses the concept of localisation across the three parts of the triple nexus—humanitarian, development, and peace. It traces the long-standing concern with the local in each of these domains, considering similarities and differences in their engagement with the local and counter-veiling trends towards universalisation, before proceeding to frame four challenges common to localisation across all forms of conflict response: defining the local, valuing local capacity, maintaining political will, and multi-scalar conflict response.
