CARE builds resilience in Indonesia Print E-mail


Join CARE, Wageningen University and Groupe URD in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia – an area rich for its biodiversity and its role in carbon and moisture exchange for the planet. Learn how we are working together with community members to help them better adapt to a changing climate, lower disaster risk, and rise and stay out of poverty.


The RESILIENCE project started in 2010 in Indonesia, Bolivia and Ethiopia, working closely with local partners, local authorities and private sector. The project’s overall objective is to "improve the North-South Development Cooperation towards enhanced integrated poverty reduction programming and practices that will better assist poor people improving their livelihood security, while strengthening their resilience to climate change and other natural hazards."


To achieve this objective, the RESILIENCE project will:


- Research and analyze the differences and similarities between the different disciplines and between different stakeholders in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Poverty Reduction (PR) projects;
 

- Research and analyze the lack of scaled integration of the diverse actors and the different institutional policy framework; and

- Develop guidelines, advocacy and training materials to enable local actors to better program, integrating the different disciplines of DRR, CCA and PR, meanwhile improving the understandings of European Union stakeholder on the different disciplines and their interaction.

The learning's from the project will be translated in a handbook, dynamic tool and film material. For more information please contact Wouter Bokdam at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .


The RESILIENCE project receives support from the European Commission.
