1. The One Billion Coalition
For Resilience

2. Why?
Vulnerabilities, Shocks / Stresses and impacts on development gains are intensifying/ increasing
Service providers and communities are not aligned (risk, needs, capacities etc.)
Many organizations lack access to communities, technical expertise necessary to build resilience
Many programs are siloed,
Good practices not adequately shared nor scaled.
MANY PROGRAMMES ARE SILOeD: even integrated programming does not go far enough to bring together organizations working on similar issues or with similar communities. The RCRC movement must change the way it works to be more collaborative and more proactive
There should be a common entry point for organizations to help support resilience communities and individuals.
Communities and individuals with similar needs should be connected and learn from each other.

3. The One Billion Coalition is not… The One Billion Coalition is…
A traditional program
A new way of organizing and working, building on existing programs but with expanded engagement of partners
Delivered solely by the RCRC Movement
Owned and managed by partners
A marketing campaign
Leveraging the power of partnership to achieve more collectively
A branded RCRC Movement initiative
Larger than the RCRC Movement
Focused exclusively on measuring resilience progress and programming milestones
Focused on measuring impact and improvements in resilience
A top-down approach to international development
A way for communities to prioritize and act upon their own needs
Speaking Notes:
In order to understand what the One Billion Coalition is, it is useful to reflect on what the One Billion Coalition is not.
Walk through each point.
