ADDRESSING GENDER AND SOCIAL DYNAMICS TO STRENGTHEN RESILIENCE FOR ALL

Investigating the gender and social dynamics of resilience—exposure and sensitivity to disturbances, resilience capacities, decision-making context and responses, and well-being outcomes—reveals differences in the target populations’ needs, priorities, and constraints related to building resilience. This information can provide the foundation for designing more tailored, locally accepted, and sustainable interventions to increase livelihood resilience to multiple shocks and stressors. To facilitate integrating the elements of the framework into program and policy design, monitoring, and evaluation, and to guide research on these topics, this paper presents summary guiding questions structured according to the components of the GCAN framework.
