Community-led partnerships for resilience

This report documents a number of case studies where grassroots women’s organizations are working in partnership with their local or national governments to effectively manage disaster and climate risk in poor communities. It aims to demonstrate the value of facilitating community-led partnerships for strengthening disaster and climate resilience.

The report underlines the value of multi-stakeholder partnerships with local and national governments, universities, researchers and the private sector. In this context, it discusses three different innovations that have emerged from the community-led partnerships, which are new engagement and partnership mechanisms, new learning, knowledge and actions, and the roles for grassroots organizations.

The activity was supported by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction andRecovery (GFDRR) as part of its Inclusive Community Resilience program.
