Resilience Rapid Learning Briefs: Lessons for Building Resilience in Protracted Crises and Conflict-Affected Settings

This series of learning briefs provides the practitioner and donor communities with insights and emerging evidence on how to build resilience in protracted crises and conflict-affected settings. This series documents promising program approaches and contextual insights through research, case studies, and technical analysis.

The series was inspired by a Conflict and Resilience Roundtable in June 2020, organized by the REAL Award and the USAID Center for Resilience, and framed by Mercy Corps’ paper towards Resilience: Advancing Collective Impact in Protracted Crises.

The series includes the following rapid learning briefs:

• Rapid Resilience Learning Brief: Role of Markets in Strengthening Social Resilience Capacities in Northeast Nigeria
• Rapid Resilience Learning Brief: Harnessing Local Sources of Social Cohesion in Niger 
• Rapid Resilience Learning Brief: Leveraging Crisis Analysis Towards Resilience-building Responses
