Paragraph
Paragraph text
The relationship between humanitarian and development actors has been the subject of perennial discussion. In the Chair's summary, the Summit recognized that humanitarian needs can no longer be viewed in isolation from broader sustainable development efforts that tackle the root causes of prolonged and recurrent need. The Summit took an important step towards transcending the humanitarian-development divide while reinforcing the importance of respecting humanitarian principles and space. A commitment to action on collaborating in a new way of working was signed by the Secretary-General and eight United Nations entities and endorsed by the World Bank and the International Organization for Migration.
