Interpretation available in English, Spanish, and French / Interpretación disponible en inglés, español y francés / Interprétation disponible en anglais, espagnol et français
Civil society is increasingly recognized as a critical actor in efforts to prevent and respond to organized crime. The Resilience in Action policy brief, launched at the 34th session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ), showcases the role of community-based responses and outlines the Resilience Fund’s five-year experience supporting grassroots initiatives around the world.
This webinar will bring together three Resilience Fund partners featured in the policy brief, each representing a different region and context, to exchange their insights, approaches, and key takeaways. Drawing on the brief as a learning tool, the session will serve as a capacity-building space to explore practical approaches to community resilience, reflect on real-world experiences, exchange lessons, and strengthen capacity to respond to organized crime.
The webinar will highlight and exchange concrete experiences, approaches, and strategies from diverse contexts to strengthen civil society’s role in developing innovative, community-based responses to organized crime.
