People-Centred Resilience – Working with vulnerable farmers towards climate change adaptation and food security

Document Type: Tools

Worldwide, 1.7 billion small-scale farmers and pastoralists are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. They live on marginal rural lands characterised by conditions such as low rainfall, sloping terrain, fragile soils, and poor market access, primarily in Africa and Asia. Such farmers are vulnerable because their farms depend directly on rainfall and temperature, yet they often have little savings and few alternative options if their crops fail or livestock die.



Measuring Resilience Impact at Programme and Project Levels

Measuring Resilience Impact at Programme and Project Levels

Document Type: Tools

Although any monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system tends to focus on outputs, outcomes and even ‘value for money’, it is important to emphasise that from a participant and programming
perspective, it is impact that determines the eventual usefulness of an intervention.



Building Drought Resilience Programme (BDRP) – Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) for Uganda

Document Type: Policies and Frameworks

The BDRP projects aims at strengthening the resilience of communities, to the impacts of increasingly severe and frequent climate disasters within well-managed river catchment ecosystems in Kenya, Uganda and the Eastern and Southern Africa Region. The purpose of the project is to improve the integrity and health of catchment ecosystems in priority catchments and landscapes and the adaptive capacities of communities living in them over a 7-year period (2018-2025). In Uganda, the project will be implemented in the Aswa catchment in northern part of the country, influencing the lives of 3.6 million people living within the catchment, while directly benefitting 131,000 people.



Case Studies of Community Resilience Policy

Document Type: Policies and Frameworks

As part of its Community Disaster Resilience Program, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is examining approaches that various communities have employed that establish or support community resilience policy in municipal or regional government. NIST tasked the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute to examine how communities develop economic development and hazard mitigation plans and to understand the barriers that exist that prevent resilience from being incorporated into economic development plans, including governance, organizational, and management processes.



Handbook Resilience 2.0 for aid practitioners and policymakers

Handbook Resilience 2.0 for aid practitioners and policymakers

Document Type: Tools

Over the last few decades, the alarming increase in both the frequency and impact of disasters has drastically affected the livelihoods of people living in both developing and developed countries. A growing number of weather-related hazards can be observed such as floods, droughts and forest fires. Climate change most likely contributes to this rise, as well as people’s mounting vulnerability due to, for instance, population growth, insecure land rights, rising food prices and unemployment. Over the last few years a sense of urgency has emerged among platforms and networks related to Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Poverty Reduction (PR) to integrate the three domains in order to cope with future risks more effectively
