SIX PILLARS OF A TRANSBOUNDARY FLOOD RESILIENT COMMUNITY

Abstract

This document summarizes a model of what a community in a development context needs to be resilient to floods. It is intended to provide a high-level framework that government and development actors can use to build the flood resilience of communities where they are pursuing sustainable development outcomes. The full document can be found at lwr.org. It includes careful consideration of the particular needs of flood-prone communities in transboundary settings as well as evidence of the pillars in practice from Lutheran World Relief’s Transboundary Flood Resilience (TBR) Project.
