Russia’s War on Ukraine and Its Impacts on Global Resilience

The main expected effect of Russia’s war on Ukraine on global food security is its impact on grain and energy markets, as well as fertilizer supply. International food and fuel prices have increased sharply since the onset of the conflict, ultimately affecting local food prices and access to food. At the same time, grain and oil price hikes have increased the cost of humanitarian operations, reducing aid organizations’ ability to serve those in need when it is most required. Join ResilienceLinks, USAID's Center for Resilience, and TANGO International for a panel discussion on the implications of these supply shortfalls on

Markets in Crises

The Markets in Crises Community of Practice (MiC) is an online community of over 3,000 practitioners engaging with markets in crisis contexts. We come from over 110 countries, representing NGOs, multilateral agencies, academic institutions, funders, and the private sector. The MiC shares ideas, experience, resources and learning with the aim of improving market-based programming in emergency, recovery, and development contexts. The resources below were designed to help humanitarian and development actors develop a shared language around using market-based approaches in fragile contexts. Market-based programming or market-based approaches are understood to be projects that work through or support local markets and

Coordination and Communication Approaches to Promote HDP Coherence

Coordination and communication among actors operating in the same area is important to achieve humanitarian-development-peace coherence. This dynamic dialogue offered coordination and communication approaches that implementing partners can learn from or replicate and adapt to their contexts. Examples came from the USAID Mission in Ethiopia, an international non-government organization forum in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the global Food Security Cluster in Chad. The session explored the following questions: What can effective coordination among actors interested in improving HDP coherence look like? What can we learn from these examples to deliver projects in more impactful and coherent ways? This

Learning from “Backbone Mechanisms” to Advance HDP Coherence

“Backbone mechanisms” are independent entities that support partners in maintaining strategic coherence, and facilitate learning, collaboration, and coordination in a geographical area. This session explored how these mechanisms are advancing collective impact for HDP coherence through collaboration, coordination, and joint learning, and what implementing partners can learn from this work. Participants heard from backbone mechanisms in Kenya, Somalia, and the Sahel about models and approaches to coordination that contribute to HDP coherence. Central to this conversation were approaches to coordinate and engage with different levels of local partners working to bring together humanitarian, development, and peace programming efforts.
