Discussion workshop on the security-development nexus

15/02/2018

In connection with a study on the security-development nexus, Groupe URD and Coordination Sud are organizing an initial discussion workshop on 28 March 2018 to gather the concerns and views of humanitarian actors involved in crisis contexts (particularly the Sahel and the Middle East). The objective of the study is to analyse the relations between security and development actions, and the central issue of development aid policies being determined by internal and external security objectives.

The workshop will be held on 28 March, from 2 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. in Coordination Sud’s premises. It will be followed by different consultations with other civil society actors as well as with the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the Ministry for the Armed Forces, members of parliament, European bodies, United Nations agencies and other countries.

All of these activities are being carried out in connection with the “Learning and Innovating to Improve Crisis Response” project, funded by the French Development Agency, the Fondation de France and the Principality of Monaco.
