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.

Jill Karena, FRRR’s Place Portfolio Lead, explores how the needs met through small grants programs address areas of disadvantage and basic quality of life in communities with little visibility to funders and policymakers. These programs are well suited to co-funding approaches that enable collective contributions to achieve more together and create leverage for funders and communities.

Together, we can achieve incredible results
