Key Questions and Considerations for Donors at the Triple Nexus: Lessons from UK and Sweden

This report is part of a series of studies intended to share emerging lessons and
approaches as donors evolve their application of their nexus commitments. Drawing on
the findings of two reports which look in detail at Sweden and the UK’s respective
approaches, it draws out key lessons, examples and questions of wider relevance to
other donors and agencies.4 It examines findings under three areas of donor operation: the policy frameworks that guide their work; the programme and allocation cycle through
which it is implemented; and the organisational structures and systems that enable it. It is
clear that just as there can be no template for putting the nexus into practice in-country,
nor can there be a single model for donors, whose political contexts, architecture and
resources vary widely. The intention of this series is therefore to shed light and provide
insights from several different donors – starting with Sweden and the UK – in order to
stimulate and inform open dialogue and considered action.
