Abstract
Strengthening Resilience of Community-Based Structures: A Multi-Sectorial Approach to Addressing Adverse Events.
THEME 2: Building sustainable, resilient, and self-reliant communities through indigenous modalities, inter-sectoral collaborations, and partnerships
SUB 2.2 Strengthening community support structures to mitigate the impact of adverse events
Oral Presentation
Communities worldwide, face vulnerabilities due to environmental threats, disasters, and pandemics. Strengthening the resilience of community-based structures is crucial for understanding, withstanding, and overcoming adverse events. This presentation discusses how adopting a multi-sectoral approach to building community resilience fosters sustainable development, adaptation, and responses to adverse events. It is based on a desk review of the literature which examines four crucial components of building resilience, namely: (i) Resilience through skills, knowledge, and resources development, (ii) Using community assets for copying, recovery, and risk reduction, (iii) proactive measures to lessen vulnerability, and (iv) Community-based flexible multi-sectoral structure development to handle uncertainties. It further, discusses the roles of social workers in promoting resilience before and during crises and challenges faced by community-based organizations in strengthening community ownership and effective response. This presentation will contribute to the advancement of sustainable approaches to disaster risk management and Community stability in the face of adverse events.
