Purpose: 

This framework establishes a foundation on which all IFRC programmes, projects, interventions and actions, across the contexts, which contribute to strengthening communities, can be created, developed and sustained.

Overview: 

Key elements of the Framework for Community Resilience are:

• Assisting communities as they adopt risk-informed, holistic approaches to address their underlying vulnerabilities;
• A demand-driven, people-centred approach;
• Being connected to communities by being available to everyone, everywhere, to prevent and reduce human suffering.

Three key elements for promoting community resilience are:

• Measuring the various characteristics that comprise community resilience;
• Measuring IFRC’s impact on community resilience;
• Measuring the incorporation and achievement of specific IFRC activities to supporting community resilience.

Usage: Policy guidance
