“…The contributing authors describe resilience-building at different scales, for different types of projects and interventions: from gender-differentiated perspectives within households in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and Chad (Le Masson et al, 2019;McOmber et al, 2019), to devolved community planning and financing in Mali and Senegal (Beauchamp et al, 2019); from sector-wide agricultural extension support in Sudan (Young and Ismail, 2019), to early warning systems in Ethiopia and Nicaragua (Ewbank et al, 2019), national social protection programmes in Ethiopia (Ulrichs et al, 2019) and advocacy for mainstreaming into government policy in South Asia (Tanner et al, 2019). Each brings a different perspective on the significance and operationalisation of efforts to build resilience to climate extremes and disasters.…”
