Participatory Review and Learning Exercise of Selected Humanitarian, Development, and Peace Nexus Initiatives

This brief presents the findings of a participatory review and learning exercise (PRLE) conducted by the South Sudan Food Security Cluster on selected initiatives at the humanitarian, development, and peace (HDP) nexus in South Sudan. It provides an overview of the PRLE methodology, target audience and beneficiaries, key lessons, and practical recommendations on operationalizing the HDP nexus. The PRLE identified good practices that effectively bring together humanitarian, development, and peace actors through coordinated efforts, which are essential for addressing the underlying causes of food insecurity and protracted crises in South Sudan. The primary objective of the PRLE was to enhance knowledge on good practices and reflect on challenges and opportunities in strengthening coordination, collaboration, and communication among these actors, with the ultimate goal of improving the coherence and impact of HDP nexus programming on the affected population.
