Humanitarian crises pose a formidable development challenge. Conflicts, together with protracted crises and natural disasters, are major disablers to economic well-being and inclusive market development. Often in cyclical or protracted crisis, the lines between disaster response and economic recovery are blurred, for example more development actors are operating in crisis contexts. A resilience approach supports people, businesses, communities, and systems to plan and prepare for risks, cope with disruptions, and adapt to changing contexts.
This track will explore multi-stakeholder collaborations focused on building resilience, including market activities in basic services such as WASH, shelter etc. We will learn from successful and experimental approaches to financial inclusion, market development, and humanitarian response that employ the skills and capacities of multiple actors and organizations to support more resilient livelihoods and markets.
