The Humanitarian-Development Nexus for Health: Case Studies from Mali and South Sudan

Notions of a humanitarian-development divide, gap, or continuum go back decades and are outdated, as they have never fully depicted the overlapping reality and needs of most contexts across the world.

On November 7, 2024, MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience hosted a webinar synthesizing key findings, commonalities, and differences in each context from case studies developed in Mali and South Sudan pertaining to the HDPN and applications to family planning, reproductive health and maternal, newborn, and child health interventions.
