M+E report
The report provides an overview of activities carried out and initiatives started in 2012 by Partners for Resilience. In nine countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia the alliance members and their local partners have worked with local communities on strengthening their resilience.
Examples are the construction of ponds to improve water provision, the diversification of livelihoods such as agriculture to better cope with drought, terracing of hill slopes and planting of trees to reduce risk of landslides, and setting up early warning system and introduction of contingency plans to address and respond to disasters. In all countries our partners have combined their knowledge and expertise, firstly by mapping the hazards – floods, storms, droughts, fires, landslides – that can push communities’ vulnerabilities beyond coping levels, and consequently designing plans that strengthen the communities in their ability to withstand these.
Some of the activities carried out during this period are:
- Linking and learning within and beyond the alliance
- Early warning actions
- Research, publication and communications
- Review and upgrading of tools
- International dialogue and collaboration with networks and knowledge centres
