Resilience
1. What is Resilience?
For the IFRC, resilience is defined as:
The ability of individuals, communities, organisations, or
countries exposed to
disasters and crises and underlying vulnerabilities to:
1. anticipate,
2. reduce the impact of,
3. cope with,
4. and recover from the effects of
adversity without compromising their long-term
prospects.

Implications
As one way of mobilising funds, the IFRC’s
General Assembly has decided that we
should target investing at least 10 percent
of any emergency appeal for the
strengthening of resilience work. We are
counting on back donor support to make
this a reality.

5 PRINCIPLES in
strengthening resilience
1) Accepting PEOPLE must come FIRST
Resilience is not something outsiders can do or bring
to individuals or communities. The starting point for
any humanitarian or development support must be
recognition and appreciation of the efforts of
individuals and their households and communities to
strengthen their own resilience.

2) Respect LOCAL
OWNERSHIP
Local ownership, assets and capacity
must be fully respected and relations with
local government and other local actors
strengthened. Dependency on outside
support or substitution should be avoided
as much as possible.

3) COMPREHENSIVE cross sector
assessments, planning and
implementation
Understanding the diverse underlying causes of
vulnerability and disaster and crisis risks
requires holistic assessments, planning and
implementation across various sectors.

5) Working in Partnership
Creating and brokering relevant partnerships
or advocating for support, especially in areas
which are not in the core of Red Cross Red
Crescent expertise or mandate. We can play
an important role in facilitating support from
a range of stakeholders.

Resilience: experiences and messages
to be conveyed

Early response is far more cost effective than late
humanitarian response.
 Building resilience is initially expensive but saves
money over time.
 There are many resilience building measures that are
likely to be value for money.
 Disaster recovery takes longer (or may be impossible)
when a community is not resilient.
