Pacific Insight Brief-Community Resilience

摘要: Aid investments seeking to build climate and disaster resilience ultimately seek to support Pacific communities to plan for, avoid and cope with the sudden and long-term impacts of climate change and disaster. The diversity of dynamics at community level is therefore critical to consider when designing and implementing aid investments seeking to build resilience.Local dynamics, including custom, governance, socio-economy and gender and social norms are powerful determinants of the adaptive and transformative capacity of communitie s 1. As highlighted by the DFAT localisation policy note 2-community members and local partners are best able to articulate local strengths, needs and requirements to drive the delivery of more relevant and effective aid.
