Democratic Republic of the Congo – April 2014

UN programming shifted from supporting displaced communities to supporting host families and their assets as a result of a RSA workshop finding on Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The region has been facing multiple and diverse shocks: conflicts, disasters, illnesses and lack of employment. The workshop identified the critical role of social capital in coping with such shocks and pointed to the adverse impact of humanitarian programming in undermining this social capital.

Lebanon – September 2014

Lebanon is currently challenged by a range of shocks related to the crisis in Syria that could potentially trigger a social unrest in Lebanon itself.

A RSA workshop produced some surprising results, identifying several critical factors that contribute to Lebanon’s comparatively high levels of resilience thus far, such as the major role of the private sector in delivering basic services.

Somalia – February 2015

Twenty-four years after the start of its civil war, Somalia continues to face interconnected and complex challenges that constrain its development.

It showed the need to promote stronger social capital and accountability at all layers of society and proposed to strengthen financial assets through improving the value chain.
