Este manual describe 12 actividades que personas voluntarias de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja pueden realizar fácilmente utilizando los recursos ya disponibles en la comunidad. Las actividades están diseñadas para ayudar a las comunidades a producir más alimentos e ingresos y mantenerse seguras y saludables en zonas donde hay desafíos como sequías e inundaciones. Cada actividad seleccionada es particularmente relevante para el contexto local en el sur y el este de África, pero la mayoría de las actividades se pueden realizar en cualquier parte del mundo con algunos pequeños ajustes.

Análisis de mercado para la selección de Actividades Generadoras de Ingresos (AGIs) colectivas y definición de Planes de Empresa simplificados para los Clubes de Madres de Barkeol, Mauritania. (Disponible solo en francés)

This simple guide lists some of the considerations that projects need to think about when choosing a officient stove in addition to providing information on some of the tools than can be used to help judge performance.
Addressing energy poverty through increasing the uptake of fuel efficient stoves (FES) has the dual benefits of directly improving the livelihoods of the poorest while playing a role in mitigating climate change.

Case study focussed on the implementation of  "Les Caisses de Resilience" approach in Mali.
The approach is based on simultaneous support to strengthen productive, financial and social capacities of vulnerable households and their community-based organizations (women’s groups, farmers’ organizations, etc.).
This FAO "resilient and integral" approach is similar to the Mothers' Club approach developed by CRCR Movement.

Livelihoods' support provided by BDRCS and IFRC during COVID19 pandemic strengthened the income-generating activities of targeted vulnerable families, building resilience to future flooding.

This case study provides an example of a community-based food security and livelihoods initiative implemented in Sesheke and Kazungula in Zambia that can be used as a blueprint for other regions facing similar challenges. This action, implemented from 2012 to 2015, was part of the IFRC's “Zambezi River Basin Initiative" (ZRBI) which aims to ensure that communities along the Zambezi river basin are better prepared to meet the challenges of disasters caused by drought or flooding in the short term, and more resilient and secure in the long term. 

This case study provides an example of how the Covid19 pandemic and the movement restrictions had an impact on livelihoods and how this situation was addressed through Cash and Vouchers Assistance (CVA) to support the most affected families in the districts of Banjul, Kanifing Municipality and West Coast Region of The Gambia. As the hardest hit economically were women, mostly engaged in low-paid, insecure jobs and the informal economy, a gender lens was applied in the design and implementation of this programme.

Within the frame of the project "Protecting and Improving Food and Nutrition Security of Orphans and HIV/AIDS-affected Children" implemented in Lesotho, this case study highlights the keyhole garden's model, presenting the main elements of the intervention, as well as the lessons learned.
Keyhole gardens in this project were identified as the most effecive way to increase homestead food production through bio-intensive agriculture,for more healthy diets.

The ‘Resilience to malnutrition’ approach implemented by CRRDC and SpRC involves a holistic intervention to address the risk of malnutrition from different angles and interrelated components. Not only does it significantly reduce malnutrition rates while the intervention is being implemented, it is sustainable over time

Estudio de caso del programa de recuperación de los hogares más vulnerables afectados por el terremoto kde Nepal en 2015 que tenía como objetivo contribuir a desarrollar comunidades más seguras y resilientes. Dado el contexto y las principales conclusiones tras la evaluación de necesidades, se promovió la metodología VSL (por el acrónimo en inglés de Village Saving and Loan) para promover grupos de ahorro y crédito en las comunidades. Disponible en inglés y francés.

Case Study of the Green Pearl Project that shows how nature-based solutions can provide multiple economic, social, and environmental benefits to vulnerable communities. 

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has grown from a concept into an approach implemented throughout the world by all types of stakeholders. These case studies discuss context-specific activities that contribute to three CSA pillars: sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and incomes, adapting and building resilience of people and agri-food systems to climate change, and reducing and/or removing greenhouse gas emissions where possible. Many of the case studies pay special attention to smallholder farmers, including women and indigenous groups, who are particularly affected by the impacts of climate change. 

Compilación de acciones en Medios de Vida presentadas en formato de fichas técnicas con información clave sobre intervenciones de recuperación, fortalecimiento, diversificación y protección de los medios de vida en diferentes contextos. Estas fichas técnicas son el resultado de la capitalización y síntesis de buenas prácticas desarrolladas en acciones en medios de vida para facilitar su réplica.

Cost/ Benefit Analysis (CBA) is an evidence-based quantitative tool used to demonstrate the costs and benefits and natural trade-offs of investment in community/ public actions. CBA is a useful decision-making tool that complements financial analysis as it evaluates non-market benefits and costs in more detail, taking into consideration such variables as environmental costs, biodiversity preservation, disaster preparedness, informal activities, social opportunity cost of labour, and opportunity cost of investment. 

This series of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) studies analyze the food security, livelihoods and resilience initiatives supported by the IFRC in Namibia, Zambia and Rwanda. The studies for Namibia and Zambia were based on the Zambezi River Basin Initiative (ZRBI).

Good practice document developed by FAO, based on a project implemented in Lesotho to support of micro-gardening with the double aim of addressing food insecurity while contributing to social stability. 

This case study focuses on energy-efficient stoves. The document describes the main success factors of the model, the impact of the use of these stoves at the environmental, economic and health levels (reduction of CO2 emissions, savings of between 50-60% in wood consumption 50-60%, etc.), and includes recommendations for replication of the model.

Guía técnica para la ejecución de proyectos de mejora de la cadena de valor de los productos agroalimentarios.
La guía presenta, para cada fase de implementación, las principales actividades a implementar, los recursos necesarios y las recomendaciones identificadas en el proceso de capitalización del enfoque.

El Club de Madres es un enfoque integrado que promueve la resiliencia y el empoderamiento de las mujeres a través del desarrollo de tres componentes principales: ahorros y préstamos, actividades de sensibilización de la comunidad sobre diferentes temas y actividades generadoras de ingresos. Desde 2017, el Centro de Recursos de Medios de Vida, junto con otras SN de Cruz Roja y Media Luna Roja, promueven el enfoque y crean recursos y formación para facilitar su implementación.
