Triple Nexus in Pakistan

This study traces contingencies of previous humanitarian interventions and how they shape today’s relations among different stakeholders critical for effective collaboration under a Triple Nexus framework. Interviews conducted in Pakistan, contribute to an understanding of current perceptions, practices and challenges that humanitarian actors face in delivering a Triple Nexus approach. Research findings indicate that due to the restricted and militarized context, a considerable threat exists that principled humanitarian action could be subsumed under a state-led framework and could thus be instrumentalized for political purposes.
