3. Implications for ICTs & Resilience Thinking
Understanding livelihoods resilience : Role of tools such as ICTs in support of information, knowledge and innovation. e-Resilience Sub-properties: Strengthen vulnerable systems response to cc challenges. A model that goes beyond climate change. Consideration of the underlying factors of vulnerability, including issues of power and inequality. New and traditional knowledge.

Conclusions From withstanding and recovering from short-term events, to adjusting, changing and transforming their livelihoods in the long term with the help of ICTs. From reductive to systemic frameworks. From components and processes to studying properties (e-resilience). Challenge of measuring resilience and ICTs’ contribution
