Increasing Resilience

While we have formed the disaster management committees to quickly respond when disaster strikes, we also focus on strengthening the capacity of poor people in order to absorb shocks. With climate change, natural disasters and conflict posing which increase uncertainty, supporting people to cope with and respond to new hazards and opportunities were never paid enough attention. If we do not address this, then we will be facing a growing number of humanitarian crises in future as climate change continues to affect the poorest, displaced communities and destabilized societies. Our aim is to build resilience into all our programmes.
