Building climate change resilience in Niger to keep hunger away

Document Type: Reports

Climate change is a global threat. It is now affecting every country on every continent, but it is the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people – those who rely on rain to grow crops, live in poorly built structures in marginal areas and lack savings or insurance – who are hit the hardest.



Applying resilience thinking in BRACED – how resilience is interpreted in consortia projects and processes

Applying resilience thinking in BRACED – how resilience is interpreted in consortia projects and processes

Document Type: Reports

Strengthening the resilience of rural households to climate extremes and disasters has been the focus of the Christian Aid-led DFID-funded BRACED programme in Ethiopia (CIARE) and Burkina Faso (Zaman Lebidi). Faced with droughts and flooding of increasing frequency and intensity due to the effects of climate variability and global environmental changes, the projects in both countries have adopted a consortium approach to address multiple elements of vulnerability, with diverse partners working to strengthen climate information services, risk communication, behavioural change, skills and technology, governance issues and access to livelihood assets. In both projects, researchers at King’s College London (KCL) lead on learning and resilience research.

New methods in resilience measurement

New methods in resilience measurement

Document Type: Projects and Case Studies

Despite growing support for resilience-building initiatives within the international development community, efforts to measure resilience face a number of critical challenges. Evaluators have
difficulties not only in defining resilience but also in choosing the right indicators and finding ways of recognising the many intangible elements that contribute to a household’s resilience (such as
power, social networks and norms). New methods and tools are desperately needed to help address some of these shortfalls.



Lessons from the delivery of climate resilience programming in fragile and conflict-affected contexts

Lessons from the delivery of climate resilience programming in fragile and conflict-affected contexts

Document Type: Projects and Case Studies

This compendium should be read in combination with the report ‘Delivering climate resilience programmes in fragile and conflict-affected areas’ (Neaverson et al., 2019). The case studies
in this compendium form part of a wider research project undertaken by the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) Knowledge Manager
to explore how climate resilience projects and programmes can be designed, set up and managed to be resilient themselves for more effective delivery in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
(FCAC). The research project specifically focuses on operational considerations rather than more technical, programmatic ones.
