Resilience can be defined as the ability of people, households, communities, countries, and systems to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses in a manner that reduces chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth is critical.
Resilience building relies on integrated programming—across-sectoral approach with a long-term commitment to improving the three critical capacities: absorptive capacity (disaster risk management), adaptive capacity (longer-term livelihood investments), and transformative capacity (improved governance and enabling conditions).
Our integrated approach ensures that partners and sectors work together to address key leverage points and adopt complementary, synergistic strategies that will ultimately strengthen resilience at all levels.
