Impact and learning report 2015: inspiring change
This report draws on evidence from 21 project evaluations and five key pieces of research (including cost benefit analysis research and learning reviews) undertaken across Tearfund’s international work between 2012 and 2014.
In the field of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation, it presents how Tearfund has been providing support to communities to enable them to anticipate, prepare for, recover from and adapt to disasters and climate change. The report presents case studies that have been selected to reflect three aspects of resilience: The first looks at the impact of a project delivered by a Tearfund partner in India which helped 11 communities to be more disaster-ready through DRR. The second case study looks at the role of local faith communities (LFCs) in building social capital by comparing the experience of two communities in Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady Delta in their recovery six years on from Cyclone Nargis (which hit the area in 2008). The third case study presents the findings of research on self-help groups in Ethiopia, which are shown to build resilience across sectors (including food security, livelihoods, DRR).
