How to Decolonise the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus? Policy Recommendations for Donors, the United Nations (UN) and other International Agencies and (I)NGOs, Esther Meininghaus & al., BICC, 2024
The decolonial critique is particularly relevant to the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus. The authors argue that the current implementation of the HDP nexus fails to address power asymmetries and structural inequalities in the international aid system. Beyond a bottom-up approach to localisation, they call for a decolonial rethinking that analyses and acknowledges how colonial legacies affect funding flows, the distribution of staff and decision-making power, as well as norms and attitudes within the aid sector.

More the Money: Why Climate Finance Matters for Humanitarian Organisations, Iida-Maria Tammi, Centre for Humanitarian Action, 2024
Climate finance has fallen short of its humanitarian promise. Not only is there a shortage of funds, but they often fail to reach individuals and groups most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. This paper analyses the causes and (humanitarian) effects of such policy gaps. It also identifies key debates that humanitarians should follow in the upcoming climate conference (COP29) and proposes measures to support more efficient and equitable use of climate funds.
