​Welcome to the CSR Evidence-Based Resources Page

At the CSR, we focus on investigating resilience as a complex transdisciplinary phenomenon and using systematic evidence to centralise Global South knowledge on adversity and adaptation into existing global resilience discourses. We value the diversity of transdisciplinary knowledge and seek to leverage the natural and cultural resources synonymous to Africa.

As part of our ethos of diversity and collaboration, the CSR partners with like-minded organisations to produce resilience-related research that is cross-cutting, relevant, and accessible. Through these key partnerships we are able to share important resources (such as these below) that are evidence-based, as well as culturally and contextually sensitive to a transforming Global South space. We also make sure to
regularly update this page with the latest research outputs from the CSR to ensure that resilience knowledge and resources remain freely accessible to the greater public.
