Children and resilience: A collection of success stories from the humanitarian sector, Bangladesh

This publication discusses disaster risk reduction projects undertaken by Save the Children in Bangladesh. It also presents success stories of children being active agents of change; for instance in conducting community risk and resource assessments.

The major lessons learned from existing projects that involved children are that:

• Children act as identifiers, analysers and planners of risk reduction, and can bring innovative approaches to raise awareness for a more resilient community.
• Communities appreciate the role of children, especially in presenting risk reduction action plans in a structured way that would benefit not only children but also the wider community.
