Description
| Description | The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) is a partnership of public and private organisations joining forces towards a resilient, sustainable and prosperous future for vulnerable people and places. GRP believes that resilience underpins sustainable development in an increasingly unpredictable world. We envision a world where vulnerable people and place are able to thrive in the face of surprise, uncertainty and change. |
|---|---|
| Objectives | To create transformational impact on the resilience of people and planet, by reducing vulnerability and expanding opportunities for sustainable development. To instil resilience principles and actions in institutional and policy environments and incorporate private sector innovation to reshape the development and humanitarian sector. |
| Activities | 1. Create a safe space for resilience innovation & scaling
2. Promote shared learning & mainstreaming of resilience practice 3. Convene diverse voices to shape resilience policy & investment 4. Advance the collective understanding & knowledge about resilience |
| One or two success stories achieved | Established in 2014, the GRP has in its first phase:
• Accelerated resilience innovations benefiting 5.7 million people through investments of more than US$30 million across 16 countries in some of the most vulnerable parts of Africa and South & South East Asia. These innovations have received numerous prestigious international awards, including: Two UNFCCC Momentum for Change Awards (2018 & 2019), The UNISDR Sasakawa Award (2019), The Munich Re Risk Award (2019), and a UN Global Climate Action Award: Women for Results (2019) • Advanced the shared knowledge of resilience programming, most notably through GRP’s recent Resilience Insights Report that synthesised current state of knowledge on resilience programming based on GRP’s own investments into resilience innovations and learnings from across 42 partners organisations and programmes. • Convened diverse voices to build political momentum for resilience at the highest level, most notably by playing a major role in building momentum and ambition towards the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit. This culminated in the GRP convened Building a Resilient Future day at the UN Climate Action Summit, in September 2019. This event was attended by around 500 participants, including government ministers and private sector CEOs and Presidents, and resulted in around 100 ambitious commitments and collaborative actions on resilience, that will be taken forward by this movement. |
