The Journal of Humanitarian Studies Vol. 2, 20133. A resilient community is engaged in the development of local policy for reducing risks4. A resilient community is connected. It has relationships with external actors who provide a wider supportiveenvironment, and supply goods and services when needed.5. A resilient community has infrastructure and services. It has a strong system in place to help mitigate forinstance climate change. It has the ability to maintain, repair and renovate the system.6. A resilient community has economic opportunities. It has a diverse range of employment opportunities,income and financial services. It is flexible, resourceful and has the capacity to accept uncertainty andrespond (proactively) to change.7. A resilient community can manage its natural assets.? It recognizes their value and has the ability to protect,enhance and maintain them.What Next?While we recognize the value of getting the theory right, the key strength and comparative advantage of RedCross / Red Crescent always was its focus on practical work. We at the IFRC Secretariat have engaged, togetherwith the member National Societies, in a range of external debates with humanitarian agencies, governmentsand inter-governmental bodies, on the ways of better building resilience. The interest to the topic today is clearlyunder-pinned by a general dissatisfaction with the efficiency of aid in building long term lasting solutions andcontributing to human development: the world of today, despite of all the tremendous economic and technologicalprogress of the past decades, is still far too vulnerable to shocks and large part of this planet is still home to veryconsiderable human suffering. In finding better, more cost efficient solutions, the concept of resilience as anintegrated approach, is appealing ? hence our growing engagement in the OECD, EU, other key humanitarianplayers (UN, large NGOs ? through the mechanism, for example, of the Inter-Agency Standing Commission ofwhich IFRC is a permanent invitee together with the ICRC).At the same time, we are planning to engage into a Federation-wide dialogue with our member National Societiesin the lead to the General Assembly in November 2013, on defining and agreeing the specific RC/RC“niche”andfocus in building resilience ? and then adjusting our programmes accordingly. On this journey, we count on theinput and ideas of the professional core of the Japanese Red Cross, particularly those working in the hospitals andnursing and medical research institutions, like the JRCS Tokyo College of Nursing. Professionals and volunteerswho in their daily work link up directly with those, who are vulnerable and affected, and provide them with cure,support and comfort ? know better than many on how to help people in the long term to re-build their resilience.Note(1) For example: http://www.mofa.go.jp/announce/speech/un2005/un0504-3.html(2) A journey into the night reveals the rise of the‘new poor’in Milan(http://www.ifrc.org/en/news-and-media/news-stories/europe-central-asia/italy/a-journey-into-the-night-reveals-the-rise-of-the-newpoor-in-milan-60636/)&The‘quiet desperation’of homeless people in Greece(http://www.ifrc.org/en/news-and-media/news-stories/europe-central-asia/greece/the-quiet-desperation-of-homeless-people-ingreece-60635/)(3) The Road to Resilience: Bridging Relief and Development for a More Sustainable Future.IFRC Discussion paper on resilience ?
