The Nexus in Practice: Civil Society Perspectives on the DAC Recommendation

This CSO-led report, produced by the Peace & Security Thematic Working Group of the DAC-CSO Reference Group, explores how the Humanitarian–Development–Peace (HDP) Nexus is being implemented four years after the OECD/DAC Nexus Recommendation was adopted. Drawing on global survey data and online consultations, the report identifies critical gaps—including donors’ lack of political will, the deprioritization of peace, and insufficient funding.

It puts forward key recommendations from civil society:

• Transform the HDP system

• Intensify efforts toward localization

• Strengthen the capacities of civil society
