Duration: May 2023– May 2025
Budget: US$2,451,354 (UNTFHS: $300,456; Others: 2,150,898)
Implementing Agencies: UNESCWA(lead), League of Arab States
The past decade has witnessed a rise in conflicts across the Arab region. These conflicts have proven more fluid, protracted, and complex, damaging the region’s rich cultural landscape, while undermining human security and opportunities for sustainable development. Against this backdrop, the League of Arab States (LAS), in partnership with the United Nations, prepared a regional report on the attainment of the SDGs in conflict-affected countries in the region, published in 2022, which called for an integrated framework anchored in the human security approach and bridging humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) action. The current programme aims to translate the guidance emerging from the regional report into practical action to support national stakeholders in nine countries in the Arab region to operationalize the HDP nexus to advance sustainable development through the application of human security.
The programme aims to operationalize the HDP nexus in nine conflict-affected countries in the Arab region through a risk-informed human security approach. To this end, the programme’s key objectives are to: (i) mainstream the human security approach and build the capacities of relevant actors in risk management to implement the Triple Nexus; and (ii) strengthen the cooperation between national and regional stakeholders to operationalize the Triple Nexus through human security towards the achievement of the SDGs.
