Resilience literature review

Recurring shocks and stressors pose significant challenges to sustaining stable systems, including agrifood, health, social protection, and child protection and education. Resilience-focused humanitarian and development interventions hold the potential to strengthen these systems, reducing vulnerabilities and the need for future interventions. However, gaps remain in understanding how to achieve resilience across diverse contexts, particularly in scaling predictive analysis, conducting long-term impact evaluations, and applying systems-level resilience measurement. To address these gaps, World Vision conducted a comprehensive literature review, informing its Multi-sectoral Resilience Framework. This review emphasizes the interconnectedness of systems, the importance of context-specific interventions, and lessons from exogenous factors such as conflict, COVID-19, and climate.
