Creative Recovery Network and FRRR partnered to investigate the valuable role that creative projects and processes play when communities are recovering from disaster or other significant climate impacts.
If agriculture-dependent communities are to be sustainable in the long-term, we must also ensure local people are ready to withstand the pressures that come with extended dry periods. Read more in our Future Drought Fund’s Networks to Build Drought Resilience report.
Our SRC program provides flexible funding so community leaders can address whatever issues they face. This could range from enhancing local community meeting places to providing resources for a kinder, or even transport for the elderly.
