Pacific resilience standards: A practitioner’s guide

The Pacific Resilience Standards (PRS) operationalise the 10 Guiding Principles for the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific (FRDP). They have been developed to ensure the quality, effectiveness and integrity of resilience building by providing ‘good practice essentials’ and ‘progress criteria’ that can demonstrate stakeholder achievement of the Guiding Principles, through the support of the PRP Taskforce in November 2018. 

The PRS are targeted at decision makers involved in policy development and planning, practitioners designing and implementing resilience interventions, advisers and researchers providing guidance on resilience alternatives, civil society actors, donors and others. The PRS aim to enable stakeholders to:

1. Improve the quality and effectiveness of resilience decision making and practice;
2. Articulate expected levels of resilience building practice and progress; and
3. Diagnose and self-assess progress and plan the resilience journey.
