Duties and Responsibilities
The Arab region has been deeply affected by protracted conflict, the repercussions of which continue to reverberate through the years and across generations. Forced displacement and reliance on humanitarian aid persist at alarming levels, despite a reduction in violence since its peak in 2014. The scale of conflict-induced vulnerability is immense, with over 70 million people requiring some form of humanitarian assistance. Current and emerging challenges have proven complex, damaging the region’s rich socioeconomic landscape, which is facing various future risks including the far-reaching implications of mega trends like climate change.
Conflict has far-reaching implications, even more so in protracted contexts, hindering progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In fragile and conflict-affected countries, achieving the SDGs requires a comprehensive and integrated human security approach, which takes into account national priorities and systems.
It is essential to recognize that humanitarian, development and peace initiatives do not take place in chronological order: they are interconnected and interdependent, requiring coordinated efforts to address complex challenges. The convergence of these diverse pillars necessitates effective coordination and synergy among a wide range of stakeholders, including Governments, the United Nations system, development partners, and local communities.
To effectively address multifaceted challenges in post-conflict situations, it is crucial to establish long-term, integrated and sustainable solutions that bring together humanitarian, development and peace efforts. Adopting a triple nexus approach, which emphasizes the interlinkages and synergies between these sectors, makes it possible to bridge gaps in service delivery and tackle the underlying causes of conflict. This integrated approach facilitates a smooth transition from immediate response to long-term recovery and sustainable development.
