Global Resilience Partnership Annual Report 2022 – 2023

These risks have disproportionate impacts on people and places in the Global South, and the GRP works with its partners to tackle this crisis by identifying, mentoring, and scaling locally-led solutions that build resilience to agricultural shocks, climate change, and conflict. The GRP has transformed from a challenge fund-based setup to a more holistic and systemic partnership, with a balanced focus on innovation, knowledge, and policy. The organization believes that resilience underpins sustainable development and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The GRP's work areas contribute to several SDGs, including Goal 1 (No Poverty), Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 10 (Reduce Inequalities), and Goal 15 (Life on Land). The GRP's innovation work focuses on building resilience to agricultural shocks, climate change, and conflict. This includes investments in Resilience for Peace and Stability, as well as knowledge work under Resilience for Peace & Stability (Seeds) and the South-to-South Resilience Academies. The organization contributes to Goal 13 (Climate Action) and Goal 10 (Reduce Inequalities) through its work on mainstreaming resilience into finance, catalytic grants, and mobilizing partners in the Road to CoP27 and beyond. The GRP also contributes to Goal 5 (Gender equity) and Goal 14 (Life Below Water) through its work co-hosting and helping to incubate the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance. As a diverse and inclusive partnership, the GRP contributes to Goal 17 (Partnership for the goals) through its work on the Resilience Knowledge Coalition and policy efforts. In 2022, the GRP commissioned an independent formative evaluation to review progress towards set goals, as well as interactions with partners and funders at the mid-way point of the 2020-2024 programme cycle. The evaluation aimed to provide open, honest reflections to identify what is working well, as well as areas of potential improvement. The GRP is taking a proactive approach to implementing the findings and recommendations of the formative evaluation, including improvements to its internal structure. The GRP's internal drivers include acting on the findings of the formative evaluation. The organization has already implemented one improvement, relating to its internal structure. Previously, the GRP referred to its areas of work as four Value Additions (Trusted, Innovative, Convening, and Advanced) and Collaborative Actions (CAs). Conversations with collaborators have led to a re-evaluation of these areas, with a focus on building on strengths and addressing weaknesses. The GRP's policy work focuses on mainstreaming resilience into finance, catalytic grants, and mobilizing partners in the Road to CoP27 and beyond. This includes contributions to Goal 13 (Climate Action) and Goal 10 (Reduce Inequalities). The organization also contributes to Goal 5 (Gender equity) and Goal 14 (Life Below Water) through its work co-hosting and helping to incubate the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance. The GRP's cross-cutting work includes communications, monitoring, evaluation, and evaluation. The organization's communications work focuses on sharing knowledge and expertise with partners and stakeholders. The GRP's monitoring and evaluation work focuses on tracking progress towards set goals and outcomes. The organization's operations and finance work focuses on ensuring effective and efficient use of resources.
