Context

ASB Indonesia and the Philippines (ASB) is working for an inclusive, resilient, and empowered society as stipulated in its vision.  ASB aims to continue institutionalising capacities of communities, government and local actors to integrate DRR or risk management and inclusion in socio-economic development and vice versa. This reflects lessons learned from our previous resilience-strengthening related projects which suggest integration of risk management, inclusion and livelihood activities for meaningful and sustainable impact to community. 

ASB is continuously seeking to further its works and look at ways to further support inclusive resilience strengthening in Indonesia and the Philippines.
