VOICE out loud 32- Coordinated, multi- annual, flexible, and programmatic funding : A Perspective from Germany
The article by Malteser International explains how integrating humanitarian, transitional, and development funding is essential to building the Humanitarian- Development -Peace -Nexus approach.
For the World Humanitarian summit (WHS), The German Federal Foreign Office (FFO) and the Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) have agreed to multi-annual and programmatic funding to further boost the nexus’ implementation. Furthermore, the coordination between FFO and BMZ also allowed for a flexible transition from humanitarian assistance to a transitional approach. Malteser International was the first to pilot in a programmatic funding by FFO and their experience shows that this enables more flexible and adaptive nexus programmes in crisis settings.
