WeWorld is pleased to present its latest report on the integration of the peace dimension within the Humanitarian–Development–Peace (HDP) nexus in Ukraine, together with the Ukrainian version of its Conflict Sensitivity Toolkit.
The study is the result of an internal self-reflection process conducted by the WeWorld Ukraine team to assess how we can move beyond the “Do No Harm” principle as a minimum standard and adopt a more structured and operational Conflict Sensitive Approach. In a protracted war context, the way assistance is delivered can either strengthen trust and social cohesion or unintentionally reinforce exclusion and tensions. For this reason, integrating the “P” of the HDP nexus is understood not as a theoretical shift, but as a practical responsibility embedded throughout the programme cycle.
The report outlines how peace integration can be operationalised through inclusive targeting, accountability to affected people, psychosocial support, localisation and sub-granting, and collaboration with Ukrainian civil society and peacebuilding actors. The Conflict Sensitivity Toolkit, now available in Ukrainian, provides practical guidance to support teams and partners in applying these principles in daily programming.
This publication is conceived as a starting point rather than a final product. As the context in Ukraine continues to evolve, so must our approaches. WeWorld hopes this work will contribute to shared learning and dialogue among humanitarian, development, and peace actors committed to supporting dignified and sustainable recovery.
