Session title: Financing and Scaling Long-Term Resilience at Community Level: What Works, What Doesn’t, and What’s Missing
Organizer(s): Charter Secretariat, UNDP and ECHO
11 Mar 26 14:00-15:30   (Salle 4)
 
SessionAbstract

Amid ongoing funding crises and humanitarian reform processes, finding sustainable ways to finance long-term resilience at the community level is increasingly urgent. This is further exacerbated by climate breakdown and the prevalence of multi-hazard events, which will continue to shape how the sector supports community resilience and reduces humanitarian needs. This interactive workshop will bring together humanitarian and development practitioners, local government representatives, private sector actors, and donors to examine what has been tested in community-level resilience finance. Participants will discuss examples of what works and what doesn’t, barriers and enablers in the current funding landscape, and practical pathways to scale what works. The outcome will feed into shared learning on finance mechanisms that advance locally led resilience in an era of constrained resources and renewed emphasis on collaborative, cross-sector solutions.
