Council conclusions on operationalising the humanitarian-development nexus

Met dank overgenomen van Raad van de Europese Unie (Raad) i, gepubliceerd op vrijdag 19 mei 2017.

Poverty, conflict, fragility and forced displacement are deeply interlinked and must be addressed in a coherent and comprehensive way. In this context, the Council adopted conclusions recognising the connections between sustainable development, humanitarian action and peace and security. In particular, the conclusions stress the need to coordinate humanitarian and development actions so as to address the root causes of vulnerability, fragility and conflict while simultaneously meeting humanitarian needs and strengthening resilience.
