Emerging Social Protection and Community Experiences to Bridge the Nexus
Chair's Summary from the European Humanitarian Forum 2024 Humanitarian Talks
The number of people suffering from severe food insecurity worldwide is on the rise, driven by the compounding effects of the climate crisis, conflict and economic shocks. FAO, WFP and the Global Network Against Food Crises organised a side event during the European Humanitarian Forum in March 2024 to emphasise the role of social protection and resilience programming as strategic instruments to effectively address the pressing circumstances and stimulate coordination across Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus interventions. The discussion highlighted the need to strengthen social protection systems in synergy with resilience and humanitarian programming, especially in fragile and conflict-affected settings, showcasing concrete examples of such approaches from the Sahel, Somalia, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
