BASIC Research Research Briefing 3

Promising Evidence of Coordination Across the Humanitarian–Development Nexus

Published on 28 August 2024

Little is known about how conflict interacts with social assistance to affect poverty and livelihoods outcomes. Even less is understood about how conflicts disrupt government and donor-provided social assistance, and whether humanitarian emergency assistance can fill provision gaps in situations of acute crisis.

Drawing on our work on the conflict which began in Tigray, Ethiopia in late 2020, and spread to neighbouring regions in 2021, this research briefing summarises new evidence that shows how social assistance and humanitarian aid can work together to protect households from the impact of conflict. This demonstrates a promising picture of what coordination across historically fragmented sectors can achieve.
