The Nexus in Practice: The Long Journey to Impact

This research from the Norwegian Refugee Council aims to examine the operationalization of the Nexus approach in five case studies from Libya, Iraq, Cameroon, Somalia, and Afghanistan. It examined if and how the Nexus approach has been operationalized in these fragile and conflict-affected contexts, as well as the approach's implications for principled humanitarian action. While the global policy discussions on the Nexus have remained somewhat theoretical, this research aims to bring practical field examples, good practice and lessons learned to the table to inform evidence-based decision-making on the advancement of the Nexus.
