LEARNING FROM HINDSIGHT, Synthesis report on Oxfam resilience research
Document Type: ReportsWhat can we learn about resilience by examining completed resilience, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation projects? Oxfam conducted three such case studies in Bolivia, Colombia, and Fiji, looking at the conditions required for successful resilient development as well as issues around timing and duration. This synthesis report presents a summary of the three projects and distills the findings that were common to our analysis of them as well as a related climate change adaptation project in Vanuatu.
Kenya4Resilience GPDRR 2019 Report
Document Type: ReportsKenya4Resilience (K4R) Community of Practice (CoP) is a network of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Kenya. The CoP was conceptualized last year (2018) in March, after Swedish Mission Council (SMC) held a Resilience Workshop in Nairobi and launched in February 2019. Driven by the need for collaboration, partnerships, knowledge management and experiences sharing in the field of resilience, SMC funded organizations in Kenya agreed that the formation of a Community of Practice would sufficiently meet their needs for purposes of peer learning from each other
and development of best practices including incorporating resilience thinking into programs. Children’s Mission Africa (CMA) is the secretariat to the K4R CoP and it serves with the elected CoP leadership from ERIKS Development, PMU and The Salvation Army.
Intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building
Document Type: ReportsIntersectional approaches recognise that people will have different identities, needs, priorities and capacities which are not static, and will shift and change over time – affecting their ability to prepare for, cope with and respond to natural hazards and climate variability. This scoping paper explores intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building, with the aim of informing institutional policy and operational practice.
How does resilience change over time?
Document Type: ReportsKnowing how climate hazards affect people’s resilience over time is crucial in designing more effective development and humanitarian interventions. This is particularly important in postdisaster
contexts, where people’s livelihood opportunities and wellbeing changes rapidly during the long road to recovery. Yet, to date, our knowledge of resilience is largely guided by snapshots:
one-off surveys taken at a single point in time. This in turn guides how resilience-building interventions are designed and risks neglecting important temporal dimensions of resilience.
Greater insights into the evolving nature of resilience are therefore desperately needed.
How does innovation build climate resilience in the Sahel?
Document Type: ReportsFor farmers everywhere, and especially in the Sahel, innovation is a way of life, as they adapt and change farm practices to increase yields and decrease work inputs. With climate change posing increased risks, community and farm innovations that build climate resilience will help support and enhance the lives of many marginalised people. This paper examines five innovations from the
BRACED programme working with vulnerable Sahelian populations, drawing lessons for other resilience-building efforts.
