Programming Considerations for Humanitarian-Development-Peace Coherence: A Note for USAID's Implementing Partners
Sectors:
Program Design and Management
Humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) coherence aims to promote complementary collaboration across humanitarian, development, and peace actors in pursuit of a common agenda. Its goal is to maximize impact and sustainability of programs across different kinds of assistance and to reduce the need for humanitarian assistance (HA) over time.
This document aims to achieve two goals: (a) to communicate USAID's core principles on HDP coherence concisely, and (b), to provide practical programming examples and insights for the benefit of USAID staff and partners, drawing valuable lessons from day-to-day decisions.
In February 2022, the USAID Resilience Leadership Council, in partnership with ResilienceLinks, hosted a learning webinar on the recently released product featuring USAID and global partner representatives.
