Collaboration is another cornerstone of community resilience building. It brings together diverse expertise, resources, and perspectives needed to address complex challenges like disasters and climate change. It enables shared ownership and accountability of both problems and solutions, ensuring interventions are relevant to local needs and contexts. 

At HHI Resilient Communities, we believe solutions are most effective when developed together with local partners. Over the past decade, we catalyzed cross-sector coordination and collaboration with dozens of local partners in the Philippines, Bangladesh, and Nepal to co-create research, resilience tools, and action plans. 

In this last part of our blog series, we discuss three takeaways from our collaboration initiatives, which complete our top ten impact lessons over our ten years of programming in Asia.
