resilience in development

Resilience in development refers to a community’s or individual’s ability to adapt, recover, and grow despite facing challenges, such as economic setbacks, natural disasters, or social conflicts. It involves strengthening systems, including infrastructure, social bonds, and resources, so that setbacks don’t cause lasting harm. Resilient development aims to build capacity and flexibility, enabling people and communities to withstand shocks and continue progressing over time. Essentially, it’s about creating a sturdy foundation that helps communities bounce back stronger after difficulties and pursue sustainable growth.
