Journal of Sustainable Development Issues (JOSDI), 2024, vol. 2, issue 2, 129-162

Abstract: This review critically examines the Triple Nexus (TN) framework, which integrates humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding efforts to tackle protracted crises. Moving beyond linear relief-to-development models, TN advocates for flexible, integrated approaches tailored to local needs. The study identifies critical research gaps and proposes tools and metrics to operationalize TN effectively. Findings highlight the importance of meaningful community engagement and context-specific strategies to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Innovative funding, strengthened partnerships, and adaptive governance are essential for overcoming challenges such as political instability and poor coordination, particularly in fragile states. By focusing on measurable indicators—resilience, conflict reduction, and social protection—the review demonstrates TN's potential to deliver sustainable, impactful interventions. However, realizing this promise requires stronger local participation, improved evaluation tools, and more cohesive strategies. The TN framework ultimately offers a pathway to build resilient, inclusive communities capable of addressing today's interconnected global challenges.
