World Vison’s resilience programming: adding value for development
This paper discusses the limitations of traditional programming methods used by development non-government organizations (NGO) and presents resilience thinking as an alternative way of understanding and practicing development that may have the potential to overcome some of these constraints. It discusses lessons learned and reflects on experiences of development practice, from within and outside World Vision. The authors endorse a radical approach to enhancing resilience and put forward a set of programming principles and methods that promote community empowerment so that communities can intervene in, and alter the structural causes of, vulnerability to natural and anthropogenic shocks and stresses.
