No Accident: Resilience and the Inequality of Risk

For Oxfam, like many others, building resilience for the most vulnerable people, whose voices are least heard, is a work in progress. The organization‟s internal structures, culture, and mindset may all have to change. It is seeking to work more effectively across its humanitarian and development programs, and to listen to and empower vulnerable communities even more. This report is not a definitive statement on how the concept of resilience can lead to real and lasting change but hopefully it is a contribution to that vital end.
