What we do
People.
Communities.
Systems.
Three connected priorities. One shared ambition: inclusive resilience that lasts beyond individual projects.
OUR FRAMEWORK
Immediate needs.
Lasting change.
Sustainable development depends on the resilience of people, communities and systems. Our framework brings these foundations together, guiding research, partnerships, programmes and policy engagement.
PRIORITY 01
Resilient people
Strengthen the resilience, wellbeing and opportunities of people—particularly women, youth and vulnerable populations—through inclusive development, sustainable livelihoods, equitable access to essential services and climate adaptation.
PRIORITY 02
Resilient communities
Strengthen communities through locally led development, climate resilience, social cohesion, disaster preparedness, natural resource management and community-driven solutions.
PRIORITY 03
Resilient systems
Strengthen institutions, policies and systems that enable resilient, inclusive and sustainable development through evidence, innovation, partnerships and effective governance.
What makes
resilience last?
We reinforce our priorities through three organisational layers that connect collaboration, evidence and institutional capacity.
Partnership & collaboration
Working with governments, communities, civil society, academia, the private sector and development partners to co-design and scale solutions.
Evidence, research & learning
Generating evidence, monitoring results, sharing knowledge and using learning to improve programmes and influence policy.
Institutional excellence & innovation
Strengthening governance, organisational systems, financial sustainability, digital transformation and operational excellence.
Ready for change.
Equipped for the future.
Inclusive resilience strengthens the ability of people, communities and systems to respond to change and shape their futures.
Turn shared priorities into action.
