- 5. • New Normal • No Country is Safe • Development Reversals • Limited Resources
- 6. Resilience is the ability of people, communities, institutions, and countries to anticipate, manage, recover, and transform from shocks. What is Resilience?
- 7. Why is resilience needed in Jordan? • Syrian crisis – multiple shocks • Recurring shocks • MIC – Access to international assistance – Some capacities but little buffers – Development challenges • Limited Resources
- 8. A Resilience-Based Development approach advances Sustainable Human Development (SHD) in the context of multiple (environment, economic, political, natural disasters) and potentially recurring crises and shocks. What is Resilience- based Development Approach?

- 10. How do we do it?3
- 11. Resilience-Based Development Framework Coping Recovering Sustaining
- 12. Track 1: Coping Coping: The resilience of local institutions, governance mechanisms, housing supply mechanisms, infrastructures and basic services are bolstered to respond to increased demand. Coping with these stresses will require: Strengthening basic service provision systems Creating new policies and institutions that will better equip local NGO and sub-national governments to expand services and address the long-term impacts of the crisis, as well as anticipate (and mitigate) future stress. Maintaining healthy levels of social cohesion in the face of shocks and stress
- 13. Track 2: Recovery Recovering: Vulnerable households (Refugees and affected communities) recover from the socio-economic impact of the conflict and consequent dislocation. Recovering will require: Stabilizing livelihoods and employment, supporting local economic revitalization, and restoring cross- border trade. Acknowledging and addressing the different needs and potentials of vulnerable groups
- 14. Track 3: Sustaining Sustaining: Macro-economic, social and political institutions are strengthened to support and promote sustainable human development Sustaining will require: Expanding of national and local capacities to invest in long-term development Instituting pro-poor and inclusive policy reforms Augmenting conditions for strong economic growth Enhancing governance systems
- 15. Guiding Principles Local and National Ownership Context Specificity and Responsiveness Comprehensiveness and Integration Prioritization Commitment to Strategic and Long-term Engagement Human rights-based response and Gender Equality Conflict Sensitivity:
- 16. So what’s new?4
- 17. • A New Mindset • Contiguum not a continuum • Reduction of Vulnerability -Anticipate and transform • Multitude of objectives • Portfolio for resilience approach • Do Not Re-invent the Wheel. Use Winter tires or install braces • Context specific ( Whose resilience? Resilience from what? When?)
