Strengthening Communities to Attain Resilience and Food Security: The Genesis of a Training Programme to Build Capacity of (COL) EWG Partners and Community Resource Persons
Abstract
This paper outlines the development of the SCARF (Strengthening Communities to Attain Resilience and Food Security) training programme, initiated by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL). Evolving from the GirlInspire initiative, SCARF responds to the growing challenges of climate change, food insecurity, and global disruptions like COVID-19. Informed by consultations across Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and the Caribbean, it details SCARF’s conceptual design, curriculum, and delivery, offering a gender-sensitive, community-led model for building resilience. Emphasizing traditional knowledge, innovation, and Climate Change impact mitigation within the open and distance learning (ODL) framework, the paper presents SCARF as a contextually adaptable learning model for developing community resilience.
