Resilience profiles and programmes in BRACED countries
- 22/04/2015
This paper presents a review of resilience projects, programmes and policies across the 13 BRACED countries: Burkina Faso, Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Senegal, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda.
A broad range of characteristics and interventions are included to create a profile for each country, including projects implemented within the overlapping domains of: climate change, DRR/DRM, conflict, livelihoods, adaptive social protection and food security/ nutrition, and social/ human development.
The review draws on project reports, evaluations, and policy plans and statements to provide an initial assessment of the scope of activities that help build resilience to climate extremes and disasters, as well as some of the constraints.
