This interim stocktaking report was prepared by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) under the auspices of the International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF) and in consultation with the group of United Nations (UN) adherents to the DAC Recommendation on the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus. The OECD would like to thank the many contributors for their engagement throughout the process.
This report would not have been possible without the contributions of the DAC and UN adherents to the DAC Recommendation, who helped distribute the Nexus Interim Report Survey, and of participating development, humanitarian and peace partners. In particular, the drafting team would like to thank the many colleagues among adherent organisations and sister networks who supported the data collection process as well as focal points from development agencies, civil society organisations and local governments who took part in the survey at the country and global levels.
As this report was being prepared, an impressive number of new publications contributed to the collective thinking on implementing the nexus approach. Although too numerous to mention here, these have helped shape the drafting team thinking. Many of them can be found in the reference list.
The report was prepared by Dan Schreiber, Cushla Thompson, Júlia Codina Sariols and Kazuma Yabe. The team was co-ordinated by Dan Schreiber, with significant input from Sophia Swithern, under the strategic guidance of Cyprien Fabre and the general direction of Frederik Matthys. The team expresses particular thanks to Susan Sachs, the editor of the report, for her thoroughness, patience and availability.
