The report highlights how communities’ efforts are securing progress and preventing backsliding on Sustainable Development Goals: extreme poverty (SDG1), food security (SDG2), health and wellbeing (SDG3), gender equality (SDG5), water and sanitation (SDG6), decent work (SDG8), climate action (SDG13) and partnerships (SDG17).

By doing so, CDKN and ICCCAD hope this synthesis report will deepen understanding among a broad range of actors about how resilience is forged and strengthened at community level. The report’s insights are for local and national governments, NGOs, community-based organisations, federations of grassroots organisations, donors and development partners, researchers and academics. It is hoped that the report’s lessons and recommendations may inform and improve collective responses to future shocks.

The Voices from the Frontline project by CDKN and ICCCAD is part of an initiative of the Global Resilience Partnership on ‘Learning from Covid-19 to create a new normal for the resilience of the most vulnerable’.
