Thought Series – Issue No. 5

By looking at the complexity of the challenges of disasters and climate change and the development of programs to build resilience at the site level, SIAP SIAGA is working with BNPB to facilitate the initiation of a welfare-based Disaster Resilient Village approach. This approach aims to bring together aspects of disaster risk reduction, economic resilience, environmental sustainability, and inclusive social protection and is expected to become a general guideline or model for formulating community-based resilience building programs across sectors. Through this model it is also expected that the synergy of village-based programs will improve to avoid overlapping and duplication of program activities. On the other hand, this approach can be used to see how village-based programs can complement each other to build community resilience.
