The Road Map to community resilience

For the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) the concept of community resilience captures the totality of what the IFRC is working to achieve. Many National Societies have been engaged in strengthening community resilience for several decades, even though these efforts may not have been characterized as such.
Over the years, IFRC’s understanding of community resilience has grown to recognize the evolving and dynamic nature of communities and the underlying vulnerabilities that challenge them. IFRC developed the revised Framework for Community Resilience in 2014. Its objective is to establish a foundation on which all IFRC action to strengthen community resilience can be created, developed or sustained. IFRC developed the Road Map to community resilience to provide National Societies with step-by-step guidance on how to operationalize the framework. This video introduces the main concepts and stages of this guide, as an introduction and sensitization to this approach.
