Why now, why C4NS?
Our Purpose
The purpose of the nexus approach is “…to reduce overall vulnerability and the number of unmet needs, strengthen risk management capacities and address root causes of conflict.” (OECD DAC, 2019)
The C4NS vision is for a world where humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and peacebuilding are seamlessly integrated, empowering communities to thrive in stability, resilience, and dignity.
To achieve this, the C4NS mission is to advocate for and create localised nexus solutions for lasting impact where humanitarian action, development, and peace come together. We build on local strategies to bring actors across sectors together, foster shared responsibility, and promote holistic approaches that reduce risks and strengthen resilience. In this way, we help shape inclusive, sustainable development pathways and lay the foundations for durable peace for communities in fragile and crisis-affected contexts.
C4NS drives its impact through three Strategic Pillars:
Pillar 1: Operationalising the Nexus
Pillar 2: Knowledge Hub for Collaborative Learning
Pillar 3: Applied Research for Innovative Practice and Policy
