In crisis situations (conflict, disaster, epidemic), which are becoming increasingly long and complex, it is necessary to link the emergency humanitarian response to a more sustainable response as soon as the context allows it. This process, called the Humanitarian-Development Nexus, requires a good analysis of the situation, a relevant response defined with the population and the capacity to follow up over time.
