Building resilience through livelihoods and economic recovery

This guidance note presents UNDP's updated approach to livelihoods and economic recovery programming in Fragile and Post-Crisis/Transition Settings (FACTS). Over the years, UNDP has contributed to strengthening the livelihoods of millions of people affected by conflict and natural disasters, as well as catalyze structural transformation towards more inclusive and greener economies. This adapted approach to LER-FACTS systematically incorporates the lessons learned from the work of several actors, including UNDP country offices, operating in FACTS settings. It also builds on the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards, which represent the internationally recognized consensus on best practices for building economic resilience for crisis-affected communities.
