Use of Climate Information for Targeting for Resilience Building Asset Creation Programmes

Harare 6-7 April 2016

The Resilience Agenda

• Why focus on resilience? • The links between, shocks, environmental degradation, decreased

food production and hunger create a vicious circle

Rome 24-28 November 2014 ICA Regional Bureau Training-of-Trainers 3

Food Crisis and

Hunger

More Negative Coping

Environmental degradation

Erratic weather and shocks

Three-pronged Approach (3PA)

• ICA at national level

• SLP at sub-national level

• CBPP at local level

Programmatic implications

Category 1 HIGH HIGH / MEDIUM

Longer-term programming to address conditions of protracted

crises and frequent natural shocks that impede recovery, aiming to

improve food security, reduce risk and build resilience to natural shocks

and other stressors.

Category 2 MEDIUM HIGH / MEDIUM

Programming to address seasonal food insecurity and/or to support

post-shock recovery, aiming to reduce risk and build resilience to

natural shocks and other stressors.

Category 3 HIGH / MEDIUM LOW

Longer-term programming to address conditions of long-term

(chronic) food insecurity likely due to non-climatic causes (e.g.,

pervasive poverty, protracted conflict, etc.) aiming to improve food

security and build resilience to man-made shocks and stressors.

Category 4 LOW HIGH / MEDIUM

Programming that strengthens early warning and preparedness

(considering land degradation trends) to reduce risk and build resilience

to natural shocks and other stressors.

Category 5 LOW LOW Programming that strengthens preparedness to reduce risk and build resilience to natural shocks and other stressors.
