BACKGROUND
Kenya4Resilience (K4R) Community of Practice (CoP) is a network that seeks to Build Resilient Communities. The history of the K4R CoP can be tracked back to a Resilience Workshop organized by the Swedish Mission Council (SMC) in Nairobi in March. Driven by the need for collaboration, partnerships, knowledge and experience sharing in the field of resilience, 10 SMC funded CSO’s came together and designed the K4R CoP. An initial proposal was jointly developed and financially supported for 2 years by SMC. The CoP was officially launched in February 2019.
