Participants will learn how recent evidence from IED's Waves of Resilience SIDS evaluation and the FSA 2025 Annual Report and 2026–2030 Action Plan can inform smarter financing, and operational choices in vulnerable contexts—offering practical lessons on climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, resilience financing, differentiated approaches, institutional strengthening, and the use of evidence to guide scarce development resources where fragility and vulnerability compound.
