Improving collaboration, coordination and learning between humanitarians and peacebuilders is an ongoing challenge. Despite their different approaches, both groups need to rise to this challenge to help achieve their shared goal for the future of South Sudan – that South Sudanese live prosperous, dignified, and secure lives. This paper seeks to provide with a clearer understanding of how, where, and when stronger coordination, collaboration and learning between humanitarians and peacebuilders will more effectively leverage each other’s contribution to achieving this shared goal. It seeks to draw on the ongoing discussions around resilience, Triple/HDP Nexus and conflict sensitivity by exploring the context, rationale, dilemmas and lessons arising from emerging ‘better practices’ in South Sudan. Based on these lessons and better practices it suggests actionable next steps intended to stimulate reflection and dialogue between aid actors in South Sudan in order to strengthen collective impact.
