Resilience Evidence Forum 2023 Synthesis Report

The Resilience Evidence Forum (REF) 2023 Synthesis Report provides a guide to resilience-building methodologies and evidence. The report recognizes resilience as the ability to recover from and adapt to shocks and stresses, while enabling longer-term, systemic transformations, and offers actionable insights to inform investment, policy, and decision-making. Through summarizing the key discussions held at the REF in Cape Town, the report underscores the imperative to build on progress, address gaps, recognize various forms of evidence, and prioritize resilience as a collective goal.
