Toward Resilience is a small, user- friendly guide aimed at helping field practitioners implement effective, sustainable, and integrated Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change adaptation (CCA) programming. The guide is organized around 10 guiding principles and features an extensive, well-organized tools and resources annex. It provides guidance and case studies of incorporating DRR and CCA into new and existing programming and specifically addresses the needs of key vulnerable groups such as women, children, and high-risk communities. It explains how DRR and CCA can be integrated into program cycle management as well as issues around addressing advocacy and governance. It also focuses on how DRR and CCA can be applied in key sectors, such as food security, natural resource management, and education, as well as key contexts, such as conflict, early recovery, and urban areas.
