Collaboration for resilience

This publication discusses several cases of collaborations between various stakeholders to achieve resilience to disaster risk. In fact it explains how collaboration among business, government and NGOs could be the key to living with turbulence and change in the 21st Century These collaborations combine the capacities, talents, reach and resources of the public and private sectors and civil society to activate change. Collaboration is chosen because of growing recognition that the sectors have overlapping interests and there are mutual gains to be made.

The recommendations presented in this document are the following (p. 10-12):

• intensify learning across sectors and promote leadership on resilience;
• develop better metrics and data for assessing and monitoring resilience;
• experiment with building resilience in an incubator network;
• start to actively broker partnerships and financing for resilience projects.
