The humanitarian-development nexus in protracted crises

To date, there have been six crises with an inter-agency appeal renewed for ten consecutive years or more: Chad, Central African Republic (CAR), Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), Somalia and Sudan. Beyond their protracted nature, these crises exhibit links between development indicators and humanitarian action in-country. Over the last five years, as funding per person has increased, development indicators have improved. In some cases, the cause of the increase in per capita spending was directly related to a major emergency, such as the 2013 conflict in CAR. But this is not necessarily the case in all instances.
