Resilience — or the ability of people, households, communities, countries and systems to manage adversity and change without compromising future well-being — is becoming more relevant and better known outside of food security circles as the world struggles to cope with increased and overlapping global shocks. After meeting at the Resilience Evidence Forum(opens in new window) in June, USAID Global Food Crisis Coordinator and Feed the Future Deputy Coordinator for Development Dina Esposito and Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) Chief Executive Officer Nathanial Matthews continue their discussion on resilience priorities, the role of evidence in building resilience and how innovative partnerships can help.
