Stakeholders in Nigeria have expressed their commitment to sustainable development and lasting peace through the institutionalization of the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) nexus. This commitment was articulated by Dr.

Benard Doro, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, during a high-level roundtable on financing the HDP Nexus held in Abuja. Represented by Mrs.

Catherine Bulus, the minister acknowledged the efforts of the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI), ActionAid Nigeria, and other partners in supporting this initiative. The Federal Government aims to strengthen coordination across humanitarian, development, and peace sectors.

Andrew Mamedu, Country Director of ActionAid Nigeria, emphasized the necessity of the HDP Nexus in addressing community challenges related to displacement and recovery.

Dr. Joseph Ochogwu, Director General of Peace and Conflict Resolution, noted the importance of collaboration among humanitarian, development, and peace actors to improve outcomes for affected communities.
