Operationalisation of the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus in Haiti under the Multisector Program for the Resilience and Recovery of Social Services

As “first pillar” of the Programme multisectoriel pour la Résilience et la relance des Services sociaux (PMRS) / Multisectoral Programme for Resilience and Recovery of Social Services, this Technical Assistance aims at operationalising the triple Nexus (humanitarian, development and peace) among all stakeholders engaged in providing external aid in Haiti. Several cooperation mechanisms exist in Haiti, although their scope is limited by sector of intervention or type of organisations (e.g. humanitarian clusters, sectoral tables, etc.). The external service provider, specialised in nexus operationalisation in conflict-affected environment, will connect these initiatives and ensure a joint humanitarian, development and peace analysis focusing on the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince in order to achieve a coordinated programming. This exercise, supported by in-depth consultations with local actors, will lay the foundation for “pillar 2” of the programme [implement multisector projects to facilitate socio-economic recovery through the restoration of essential infrastructure and public services, and in fine improve the quality of life]; the external provider will also support the monitoring of the second pillar’s implementation. And the EU, supported by the external provider, shall promote peacebuilding among key national and international decision makers. This component will build on the approach for Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration - Community Violence Reduction (DDR-CVR) aimed at restoring peace and stability in conflict and post-conflict settings.
