Collaborating for Resilience (CoRe)

Collaborating for Resilience is an international, non-profit, entrepreneurial change initiative working to address resource competition, and strengthen governance and livelihood resilience in interconnected resource domains and landscapes, including agricultural lands, forests, fisheries, inland waterways and coastal zones. With partners we foster innovations that sustain critical ecosystem services, build resilient local economies and increase social and economic well-being: - We partner for change to accelerate innovations by supporting leading social entrepreneurs and organizations working in different natural resource and livelihood domains. - We build capacity to drive innovation by designing learning processes that link multiple sectors and multiple regions, and create avenues for local innovations to influence policy reform. - We derive evidence to influence investment at scale, harnessing action research, capacity building, and outcome evaluation to shift patterns of investment and deliver social, economic and environmental gains. We're supported by the CGIAR, the global science partnership for a food secure future, through the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions and Markets.
