USAID Policy – Program Guidance – Building Resilience to Recurrent Crisis: Dec 2012

Document Type: Policies and Frameworks

While we cannot stop shocks from happening, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) can – and must – do more to help people withstand them. USAID has been in the vanguard of international momentum to support country and
regional plans and build resilience to recurrent crisis. Through this policy and program guidance, we will leverage the broad range of our institutional capabilities to implement innovative programmatic approaches to promote resilience. Through these
efforts, we will draw on our mandates to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance and longer-term development assistance (including our Development Assistance, Global Health, and Economic Support Funds accounts).

Linking financial services and social protection for resilience: lessons from Kenya

Document Type: Policies and Frameworks

Climate-related shocks and stresses threaten people and communities around the world, compounding existing poverty and vulnerability and undermining long-term development. National and international actors are searching for new and better ways to help people deal with increasing climate risks and, in turn, support long-term resilience. One potential way of doing this is to facilitate access to, and use of, adequate financial services such as savings, loans and insurance in underserved communities. This allows people to prepare for, cope with and adapt to shocks and stresses (Moore et al., 2019).
