| description |
Resilience is currently a hot topic with interest gaining rapidly in the development community, prompting, calls for more integration between humanitarian and longer-term development interventions. This growing interest offers a real opportunity for designing and implementing more effective forms of intervention. Many challenges however, lay ahead and operationalising resilience is not necessarily an easy task.
In this briefing we explore how policy makers can make the most of resilience. This includes: defining the concept to make it more relevant to a wider range of development practitioners; building on the concept’s strengths but also recognising its weaknesses and; addressing these weaknesses by complementing resilience with other relevant concepts. |
