Resilience Knowledge Coalition

The Resilience Knowledge Coalition is a "network of networks" hosted by the Global Resilience Partnership and co-led by SouthSouthNorth and the International Centre for Climate Change and Development. It aims to ensure that the best knowledge and practice on resilience are used to shape policies and investments, particularly in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The coalition operates through three interrelated functions: 'Collaborate' (peer-to-peer learning and capacity building), 'Connect' (virtual knowledge-sharing platforms), and 'Apply' (measurement, incubation, and scaling support). It emphasizes a bottom-up approach, prioritizing Global South demand and expertise to avoid the top-down, donor-driven models of previous knowledge-brokering initiatives.

• The Resilience Knowledge Coalition aims to address the gap where existing knowledge on building a resilient future is not effectively used to create impact by providing access to expertise, innovation, and collaborative learning.
• The coalition focuses on three primary functions: 'Collaborate', which involves peer-to-peer learning and capacity building for over 400 members from 100 organizations; 'Connect', which utilizes agile online platforms to prevent grassroots communities from being "digitally excluded"; and 'Apply', which provides Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) support and scaling services to translate knowledge into transformative policy action.
• The coalition specifically targets the most challenging intersections of food and water security, disaster resilience, and peace and stability, with a priority on delivering positive impacts in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
• To avoid the failures of previous top-down, donor-driven knowledge-brokering models, the coalition's governance is co-created by members and intentionally prioritizes Global South demand and expertise, particularly from grassroots organizations.
