WFP’s Integrated Resilience Approach: IFPRI-IPD-WFP webinar: resilience & social cohesion
- 1. WFP’s Integrated Resilience Approach IFPRI-IPD-WFP webinar: resilience & social cohesion July 2023
- 2. WFP’s integrated resilience approach aims to reduce risks, vulnerabilities, and ultimately the need for humanitarian assistance. 2 OUR Integrated resilience approach Vulnerabilities • Physical vulnerabilities • Economic vulnerabilities • Environmental vulnerabilities • Social (political/cultural) vulnerabilities Risk = Vulnerability x Threats Vulnerability: Exposure to threats and level of resistance Threats: Negative event that takes advantage of vulnerability Risk: potential loss or damage Integrated Resilience Package • Ecosystem rehabilitation/restoration/Asset creation • School-based programs • Nutrition • Cash-based transfer • Local procurement/supply chain • Social protection • Smallholder agriculture/Value chains • Capacity strengthening • Resilient individual/households • Resilient communities • Resilient systems/ institutions Outcomes
- 3. A model for integrated action and partnership
- 5. Scaling up the integrated resilience program
- 6. People and communities Participatory planning to ensure alignment & needs. Key Partnerships and collaborations Partnerships with UN, NGO and other partners Currently working with 80 cooperating partners on the ground. Geographical convergence and complementary programming with UNICEF, RBAs, NGO and technical partners. Research network with academia in the region and beyond. Governments & regional institutions Governments at the driver’s seat. MoU between RBAs and the G5 Sahel Executive Secretariat to support coalition-building and implementation of their resilience agenda. MoU with the Pan-African Agency of the Great Green Wall (GGW), strong contribution to its objectives. University Partnerships Set up of the Sahel University Network for Resilience (REUNIR) and agreements signed with 10 universities in the G5 Sahel + Senegal to link local research to resilience on the ground.

Editor's Notes
- Taking a food systems approach, WFP strengthens linkages between production, conservation, processing and consumption. To pave the way towards resilient food systems and break the cycle of hunger, the programme focuses on: Restoring ecosystems through asset creation activities to increase the production of local foods, safeguard biodiversity and reduce vulnerability to climate shocks. Providing nutritious school meals to incentivize access to education and allow children to learn and perform better. Delivering nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions to treat and prevent malnutrition, address its underlying causes, and enable access to healthy diets. Supporting smallholder farmers to reduce post-harvest losses, develop value chains, and increase access to markets. Capacity strengthening of government institutions at all levels, local communities and academia to ensure sustainability, foster a network of resilience experts and build a new generation of talent. Integrating lean season food/cash and nutrition support to safeguard resilience gains during the peak hunger period.
- Synergies in the making – land rehabilitation, gardening, school feeding and nutrition activities, an support to smallholder farmers are integrated to leverage synergies and maximize impact. For instance, part of the produce from rehabilitated sites and gardens is used for the preparation of home-grown, nutritious school meals or nutrition activities.
- Since 2018, over 200 Masters and PhD students have been supported through the Sahel University Network for Resilience (REUNIR) network, which allows for regional cooperation and knowledge sharing on resilience building for food and nutrition security. They conducted research on WFP-supported resilience activities and joined WFP sub-offices or Cooperating Partners personnel for internships.
