30 RESILIENCE PROGRAMMING AMONG NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
strengthened resilience. NGOs need to shiſt from imple- menting short-term, stand-alone projects to focusing on longer-term programs that involve multiple, integrated, complementary, and oſten sequential projects all work- ing toward a single, overarching goal.
• Strategic collaboration to enhance transformative capacity: NGOs are oſten limited in their ability to improve transformative capacity at the national level, though they can be effective at the local level. Col- laborative efforts, alliances, or high-level task forces that involve donors, UN agencies, governments, and NGOs (for example, RIASCO, AGIR Sahel) can more effectively improve transformative capacity at national or regional levels, greatly enhancing NGO initiatives to
improve the resilience capacity of individuals, house- holds, and communities.
• Regional resilience strategies: Use of a regional strategy can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of NGOs’ resilience capacity–building programming. Regional strategies allow NGOs to align resources, build staff capacity, and address cross-country themes that re- quire systems thinking and approaches. Such strategies allow for contextualization of a broader geographic area that contributes to problem analysis and programming at the country level. For example, NGOs can beter determine how regional issues (such as cross-border conflicts, large-scale natural disasters, or transboundary migration) might affect individual country initiatives.
