Resiliency+ Process

PartnersGlobal, in partnership with the CIVICUS Network and other consortium members with support from USAID, will be working with local civil society organization interested in strengthening their resiliency in the face of potential impacts of growing restriction on civic freedoms of association, assembly, and expression. The Resiliency+ Process will take selected organizations through a structured assessment and capacity building process to increase their organizational resilience over a period of 12 months. Participating organizations will have a better understanding of their internal organizational vulnerabilities and will be able to identify and mitigate potential external threats impeding growth, endangering staff and reducing sustainability. Selected organizations will be paired with a Resiliency Coach who will provide ongoing accompaniment. They will co-design a process with the coach’s guidance to prioritize their top resiliency threats and will receive targeted technical assistance to increase their resiliency in those factors identified as most critical.

Background

The Resiliency+ Framework and Process was born out of the need for a new organizational model. Drawing upon several studies and reports, as well as peer interviews and reputable indices developed by peer organizations, the Resiliency+ Process helps CSOs to identify the external threats and internal vulnerabilities impeding them from implementing resilient operations. Using this information, the Resiliency+ Process then proposes a menu of strategies, tactics, tools, and peer-to-peer assistance to help achieve resiliency.
