This ‘resilience scan’ summarises writing and debates in the field of resilience during the last quarter of 2015, focussing primarily on the context of developing countries. The scan will be of particular interest to those implementing resilience projects and policies and those seeking summaries of current debates in resilience thinking. It comprises insights on the manner in which resilience appeared within key international policy processes in 2015, key blogs on resilience, grey literature and academic journal articles. The final chapter synthesises the insights from literature in terms of Rockefeller Foundation’s 5 characteristics of resilience- awareness, diversity, self regulation, integration and adaptiveness.
