In his new article published in Disasters, Dr Rodrigo Mena explores how the humanitarian–development–peace (HDP) nexus (also known as the triple nexus) is implemented on the ground.
Mena argues that effective practice is not about finding a single model of operation, but rather emerges through negotiation across organizational mandates, contextual realities and the trade-offs that shape humanitarian, development and peace interventions.
He thus prefers to talk about HDP nexuseS rather than a single nexus.
The article is available in open access.
