Descripción
The Preparedness and Resilience Working Group (PRWG) aims to guide and support in-country Food Security Cluster (gFSC) on necessary preparedness and resilience-building activities to contribute to bridge the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, as strengthening the resilience of vulnerable households, communities and systems is central to achieving food security and improving nutrition in the face of shocks and stressors.
Efforts to strengthen resilience, understood as the ability of a system to anticipate, resist, absorb, accommodate and recover from the effects of a hazard, should primarily target those who are food insecure or at risk of becoming so. In most cases, this means individuals and groups living in extreme poverty or close to the poverty line in rural areas, as well as those living in fragile environments where conflict, natural disasters or other major events can disrupt food systems or impede access to adequate and nutritious food for at least part of the population.
Over the past decade, strengthening resilience has emerged as an important means to prevent, mitigate and prepare for risks associated with a range of threats to development. To strengthen coherence in UN resilience-building efforts at the regional, country and local levels, the Chief Executive Board (CEB) of the UN decided that a UN resilience framework was needed, covering all types of hazards and risks and promoting greater horizontal collaboration and joined-up efforts across the UN System and partners.
