Mia Beers, USAID, during her keynote at World Vision’s Road to Resilience webinar    During the webinar, Mia highlighted USAID's updated resilience policy, which reiterates the Agency’s goal of reducing humanitarian need in areas of frequent recurrent crises, while also reinforcing resilience as a key priority across all their programming.

"FAO embraces all of [World Vision’s multi-sectoral resilience framework’s] six principles, and I'd like to stress increased efforts at FAO, pushing forward along the fifth principle of addressing gender equality and social inclusion." ~ Jocelyn G. Brown Hall, FAO, during her keynote at World Vision’s Road to Resilience webinar    World Vision's multi-sectoral resilience framework highlights six design principles, including a strong emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion (#GESI). GESI is essential for building resilience in communities. World Vision’s focus on these areas within our #resilience approach ensures that all members of a community, especially the most marginalized, are empowered and supported. By addressing this and other key issues, we can create more equitable and resilient communities.

These photographs, taken by youth with disabilities, tell powerful stories. The youth took the photographs, which were showcased earlier this week at the Global Disability Inclusion Forum in Malawi, during a creative writing and photography workshop as part of World Vision’s Able to Thrive program, empowering them to report issues affecting their communities through storytelling and visual art. Ten youth with disabilities were trained in creative writing and photography skills, equipping them to use their new skills to highlight and report various forms of abuse and challenges they face in their communities. Beyond creative arts, the workshop also emphasized the importance of their rights and the need for education. During the training, staff discovered many of the children with disabilities in attendance did not attend school. In response, the Able to Thrive project has initiated a program to equip and empower their caregivers to support their children’s education. The Able to Thrive project works with more than 2,500 children with disabilities and their caregivers across several districts in Malawi with the goal of improving the well-being of the children by promoting access to quality, inclusive education, and supporting their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.  Check out a handful of the inspiring photos and witness a journey of empowerment and advocacy!

"The contextual perspective is essential. Smallholders’ challenges are highly variable from one country to another, one landscape to another, one community to another, [and] the need to design ahead of the crisis ... coming back to ... including system thinking, and turning system into action to support livelihoods. To help farmers bounce back better and continue to make progress is very important." ~ Simon Winter, Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture    World Vision's multi-sectoral resilience framework underscores the importance of context-specific approaches and systems thinking. The framework's emphasis on systems thinking ensures that interventions are holistic and adaptive to varying contexts. This approach not only supports immediate recovery but also fosters long-term resilience by strengthening local systems and capacities. By anticipating crises and tailoring solutions to local contexts, we can build stronger, more resilient communities.

Truly inspiring! This week, Global Disability Inclusion Forum participants took to the field in Malawi to deepen their understanding of education, rehabilitation, and case management to equip and support children and youth with disabilities so they can build more inclusive practices in development work globally. Field visits like these are crucial opportunities to learn about innovative practices and are essential for fostering collaboration. Participants learned firsthand from experts and implementers of impactful and sustainable programs like Able to Thrive, which is equipping and empowering children and youth with disabilities by leveraging tools like participatory GIS mapping and engaging local partners. Through visits to community-based screenings, sign language learning programs, parent support groups, and more, participants witnessed the transformative impact of holistic programming and approaches that enhance the well-being of children and youth with disabilities by empowering caregivers and improving access to and sustainable integration of education, health, WASH, and livelihoods programming, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to thrive. Participants also visited our incredible partners, including ABC Hearing Clinic, Sandi Thandiza, and Malawi Against Physical Disabilities (MAP).  Check out photos from the field visits—and learn more about the incredible work being done to create inclusive communities at https://lnkd.in/gjZ2XRvY #innovation #sustanability #disabilityinclusion
