Digital Technologies for Resilience Inventory

"Resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities and systems to survive, adapt, and grow in the face of stress and shocks, and even transform when conditions require it. Building resilience is about making people, communities and systems better prepared to withstand catastrophic events - both natural and manmade - and able to bounce back more quickly and emerge stronger from these shocks and stresses." - The Rockefeller Foundation

This inventory includes information and resources developed by FHI 360, with grant funding from the Rockefeller Foundation, to support resilience practitioners and the broader development community to identify digital technologies that have the potential to enhance resilience outcomes, particularly in Asia. It was primarily populated through a crowdsourced call for submissions that took place in March 2017. It contains entries of technologies that are being used to enhance the resilience of individuals, families, communities, businesses, and/or governments. Categories of information provided include: "Main name of your organization/firm [includes contact details]; Countries deployed in; Description of digital technology; How does it enhance resilience for your target audience? Additional details; Pro-poor focus? Who's involved?"

Although the focus of this call was for digital technologies from Asia, some of the submissions are from outside of Asia as well. The summary findings for the inventory include data from all submissions, whether or not they were from Asia. However, the inventory itself only includes technologies that are being implemented in Asia.

As of this writing, the inventory includes more than 100 digital technologies that are being used for resilience. (If you are interested in having your digital technology added to the Google Sheet version, see the contact information, above.) The project website also includes information on an interactive Digital Technologies for Resilience Workshop that FHI 360 is planning to host in partnership with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2017.
