This evaluation has been commissioned by the Sida Working group on Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction. One general objective with the study was to, among other things, set a baseline for what Sida already does in terms of “increasing resilience in relation to natural hazards and extreme weather events”.
This review has identified four overall strengths in the current Swedish portfolio:
Capacity Development

This review has also identified four overall weaknesses in the current portfolio:
