随着发展中世界日益面临严重的冲击和压力，越来越多的国际发展机构现在已将建设复原力作为其方案的一个重要长期目标。本文探讨了这一概念在粮食安全和营养背景下的潜力，但反思延伸到更普遍的发展干预措施。复原力是一个内容丰富的概念，其核心是复杂的动态过程概念，恰当地描述了影响发展中世界的脆弱性和变化的性质和动态。本文认为，复原力的主要价值在于其综合性，这有利于传统上不同的群体和社区的做法之间的更大的合作。该文件还强调了一些关键的概念和实际的挑战，我们面临的时候，试图操作和衡量弹性。
With the developing world increasingly exposed to severe shocks and stresses, a growing number of international development agencies have now adopted resilience building as a critical long-term objective for their programmes. This paper explores the potential for this concept in the context of food security and nutrition but the reflection extends to development interventions more generally. Resilience is a rich concept, and has at its core the notion of complex dynamic processes that aptly describes the nature and dynamics of vulnerability and changes as they affect the developing world. The paper argues that the main value of resilience lies in its integrative nature, which facilitates greater collaboration between traditionally disparate groups and communities of practices. The paper also stresses some of the key conceptual and practical challenges that we face when trying to operationalise and measure resilience.
