Humanitarian Assistance
Environmental peacebuilding combines distinct disciplines such as human rights, humanitarian assistance, sustainable development, environment, conflict resolution, security, and the rule of law in order to be effective in complex post-conflict settings. Many environmental peacebuilding operations share concerns with humanitarian assistance, particularly in regards to water, sanitation, and hygiene. In this regard, humanitarian assistance can either be a part of or operate in tandem with environmental peacebuilding in the aftermath of conflict. Besides, humanitarian assistance that takes into account environmental considerations, can not only help alleviate the immediate suffering of conflict-affected populations but also contribute to long-term peacebuilding efforts.M&E is essential to ensure that humanitarian assistance efforts are effective and achieve their intended outcomes. Incorporating Environmental Peacebuilding M&E indicators into humanitarian assistance programs can help assess whether the programs are contributing to sustainable and peaceful resource management and identify areas for improvement.
