Resilience is the power of individuals

and communities to live with dignity,responding successfully to disastersand the opportunities and risks theyface

Aresilient livelihood is one that enables people to feed,clothe, house, educate and take care of themselves and

their household with dignity, and to build up savings and/or

other resources. This enables them to prepare for and cope

with shocks and to adapt proactively to new and emergingthreats and longer-term changes in their context.

Common principles to resilient systems

Increasing the ability to anticipate risk. Addressing thosethat can be anticipated requires an understanding of

forecasts, their reliability and managing the uncertaintythey contain.

Increasing the capacity to organise and act collectively toaddress the drivers of poverty and risk, following the

priorities established by the community through local

planning processes.

Increasing the capacity to learn and change, especially

to transform institutions, governance and regulation,market systems or social processes that may be

increasing risk or creating obstacles to the desired

pathway out of poverty.

A resilient livelihood

Sustainable:supports social and economic development inways that are productive, profitable and environmentally-sound,

enhancing rather than depleting the natural, social and physical

resources upon which it depends.

Profitable:empowers its operator to gain fair profits andincreased value from labour and productivity, leading to a

growing and more predictable income. Women and men

therefore gain an equitable and predictable share of the value

from their labour and production, enabling them both to meet

their basic needs and build up savings for the future.


9/14


Risk and Resource Management:is less damaged by suddenshocks, recurring risks and incremental stresses. Implicit in

reducing vulnerability and increasing the capacity to respond is

the importance of access to resources, or buffers, that can be

mobilised when needed. In consequence, women and menareable to manage resources to cope with currently-known shocksand stresses, and take advantage of new opportunities, whether

physical, social, political or economic.

Adaptable:can respond to identified current and predictedfuture impacts of both risks and stresses, and has the capacity

to adapt to these changes to and navigate future uncertainty.Women and men are then able to protect and/or transform the

ways they make a living to adjust to known and unknown risks.


10/14


Voice:enables a greater and more influential voice in decisionsthat affect their livelihoods, enhancing rather than undermining

the voice and empowerment achieved by others in the same

area or community. This leads to more access to and control

over resources and the social and political conditions affecting

them.

Health and Wellbeing:enhances and protects the health of itsoperator, facilitating greater access to quality, affordable and

relevant health services so that more time and resources can be

invested in building a thriving, sustainable livelihood. This allows

people to live with dignity, without compromising their health.

The Action Plan

The most common case will be sharing the design

and implementation of activities between different

local actors: governments, community organisations,

private sectors, etc., often with an emphasis on

implementation by the community themselves withexisting resources.

This often demands a departure of the traditional role

of NGO as implementers, towards a brokering role,

able to connect households and communities with theright organisation, institution or private sector actor.
