Linking financial services and social protection for resilience: lessons from Kenya
Document Type: Policies and FrameworksClimate-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).
Community Based Resilience Analysis (CoBRA) – Conceptual Framework and Methodology
Document Type: Policies and FrameworksOver the last decade, the drylands of the greater Horn of Africa (HoA) have been affected by repeated drought-related disasters. The most recent drought crisis in 2010-2011 has generated a major reconsideration about how development and humanitarian actions can be better coordinated so as to minimize the impacts of shocks such as drought on lives and livelihoods. In this context, the term ‘resilience’ has gained much traction amongst Governments and other agencies working in the region. This is largely perceived as a positive step, since it helps fill in the gaps of traditional risk and vulnerability oriented approaches, extending their focus to potentials, opportunities and capacities of disaster-prone populations to cope with inevitable future shocks and stresses.
