Key Drivers to Resilience

Coping strategies such as climate smart pest management and community ward based disaster risk reductions plans were key for communities during these shocks. Also layered and sequenced interventions by ECRAS programming have reduced the severity of these shocks and stresses.

DRR

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is an integral part of social and economic development, and is essential if development is to be sustainable for the future

Gender

Women are not only the hardest hit by this pandemic, they are also the backbone of recovery in communities.

Crop Production

Crop diversification can improve resilience in a variety of ways: by engendering a greater ability to suppress pest outbreaks and dampen pathogen transmission.

Livestock Production

Livestock can play an important role in building resilience to climate change, by buffering climate variability and the corresponding variability in vegetation production.

Marketing

Market linkages impact positively on farmers’ resilience capacities through increased income and productivity.

Safety Nets

Safety net programs explicitly support the capacity of poor and vulnerable households to prepare for, cope with, and adapt to the shocks they face.
