Guidelines for resilience systems analysis: How to analyse risk and build a roadmap to resilience

Everybody is talking about resilience. The idea that people, institutions and states need the right tools, assets and skills to deal with an increasingly complex, interconnected and evolving risk landscape, while retaining the ability to seize opportunities to increase overall well-being, is widely accepted. In reality, however, it has not been easy to translate this sound idea into good practice, mostly because people in the field don’t yet have the right tools to systematically analyse resilience, and then integrate resilience aspects into their development and humanitarian programming. This guidance aims to fix that problem. In this document you will find a step by step approach to resilience systems analysis, a tool that helps field practitioners to:  prepare for, and facilitate, a successful multi-stakeholder resilience analysis workshop  design a roadmap to boost the resilience of communities and societies  integrate the results of the analysis into their development and humanitarian programming
