About Resilience Insight Africa
Resilience Insight Africa is a knowledge hub dedicated to disaster risk reduction, climate resilience and sustainable development across the continent.
As the official knowledge platform of the Resilience Initiative Africa (RIA), we serve as a trusted space for practitioners, policymakers, researchers and communities seeking to strengthen Africa’s capacity to respond to current and future risks.
Our platform brings together the latest research, expert insights, practical tools, news and events curated to guide Africa’s resilience journey.
Whether you’re developing urban policy, planning infrastructure, working in local governance or advocating for community-led action, Resilience Insight Africa equips you with accessible and actionable knowledge that can make an impact.
A collaborative effort
The Resilience Insight Africa knowledge hub is supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and developed in close partnership with institutions such as the African Union Commission, the Southern African Development Community, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, Slum Dwellers International and others.
Together, we are cultivating a growing network of resilience thinkers and doers across the continent.
Why it matters
In a time of increasing climate shocks, unplanned urbanisation and social vulnerability, the need for timely, inclusive and risk-informed decision-making has never been greater.
Resilience Insight Africa bridges the gap between knowledge and practice, offering a platform where ideas become action and local innovation meets global frameworks.
