Welcome to Unit 4 - Humanitarian-Development Nexus & EiE


This course is part of the full Education in Emergencies (EiE) Online Course


Unit 4 within the  looks at how humanitarian response, including EiE, does not stand alone and is clearly and intricately connected to what happened before the emergencies and what happens after. Therefore it is vital that EiE practitioners apply a nexus approach to planning and implementing EiE responses to help ensure this coherence, reducing disruption, duplication and wastage in doing so. 


A person with a thinking bubble
 Is this course for me?
This course is primarily designed for education in emergencies (EiE) or education practitioners to ensure they have a good understanding how and why education in emergencies fits into the humanitarian-development nexus. It may also serve as a useful resource for those working in other areas but wanting to improve their understanding of the sector by diving into this intermediate-level content. This unit underpins the subsequent EiE Online units but can also be used as a foundational pre-work for other trainings (including the EiE PDP Fundamentals course).
