Humanitarian – Development – Peace Nexus Working Group

WHY AN HDPN WORKING GROUP?

As countries develop costed multi-sector nutrition action plans, it is essential that humanitarian nutrition programming aligns with longer-term development plans, is conflict sensitive and contributes to nutrition resilience building, through both preventative and curative interventions.

Within the GNC strategy, the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus (HDPN) has been identified as a priority cross-cutting theme. It is also a commitment within the Grand Bargain.

The HDPN workstream is a dedicated space to focus on how to support countries to mainstream HDPN within their NiE coordination and programming.

GOAL AND OBJECTIVES OF THE HDPN WORKSTREAM

PLANS FOR 2024

HDPN IN YEMEN

KEY RESOURCES

WORKSTREAM CO-CHAIRS

GOALTo support country nutrition practitioners (emergency & development) to join up, develop and implement long-term, shock-responsive, multi-sectoral programmes, integrated within wider humanitarian and development strategies, to prevent and respond to malnutrition in highly fragile contexts.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

  1. Engage with country and regional development and humanitarian actors and platforms on HDPN within the nutrition sector 
  2. Collaborate and coordinate with global leadership structures for HDPN in nutrition, in particular the SUN Convergence Hub and other coordinating bodies/stakeholders (UN Nutrition, OCHA, UNDP, etc.) 
  3. Provide timely responses to ad-hoc country-level requests for support on HDPN, as necessary, and equip the TST with the knowledge and tools to be able to embed HDPN

In 2021, the TST, in collaboration with N4D, supported Building Foundation for Development (BFD), a national NGO in Yemen, in developing a multisectoral nutrition strategy and action plan and training on how to implement it. The TST and N4D designed and implemented the support in collaboration with the Yemen Nutrition Cluster and SUN Country Focal Point, in order to broaden its impact.  

Out of this experience, additional support was requested to provide longer-term assistance to the implementation and scale-up of the national Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Action Plan (MSNAP). N4D is continuing to support this work, which includes updating the MSNAP and developing National Guidelines on a Nexus approach to nutrition. 

This experience demonstrates the catalytic role that the TST can play in linking up shorter-term technical support to longer-term development work.
