The 2020 PfRR Annual Learning Forum will take place on 14 and 15 April 2021 as a virtual conference. Every year, the PfRR aspires to have a Learning Forum that can help us pause and reflect on the past year and prepare for our activities for the new year to come. However, 2020 comes with a twist as it presents us with the global shock of Covid-19. This year’s Forum is therefore a virtual conference that will address the theme “Communities responding to Covid-19 in complex shock environments.”
The Partnership for Recovery and Resilience is a collective of donors, UN Agencies and NGOs working together to increase resilience and reduce the vulnerability of the South Sudanese people and the institutions who represent them. It facilitates bottom-up solutions at the individual, household and community levels while also working closely with local authorities and institutions. Formally established in March 2018, the Partnership champions local ownership and integrates conflict sensitivity and flexibility in all aspects of its work. This allows it to develop new, inclusive ways of doing business to better help communities adapt and cope with the multiple shocks they face.
