Strengthening synergies between humanitarian and development actors in protracted and complex crises

This high-level session will explore new modalities for engagement by development actors in protracted and complex humanitarian crises, including where traditional modes of engagement with national authorities are not feasible. Donors, development and humanitarian organizations and policy experts will discuss what new mechanisms may be needed to sustain basic services over time in complex crises; what principled and effective engagement with local authorities and communities could look like in politically estranged contexts; and how development, humanitarian and political approaches can be combined to tackle to root drivers of protracted crisis while addressing people’s immediate needs.
