Cutting across the ‘Humanitarian – Development’ spectrum, the BRCiS programme balances its response to short-term humanitarian needs with the longer-term aim of building community and household capacities to deal with the shocks and stresses. This way, the project provides a contiguum of humanitarian and rehabilitation/development assistance that seeks to improve the absorptive (short-term) and adaptive (medium and long-term) capacities of communities and households.In the communities that BRCiS works, this generally includescombinations of interventionsrelated to Food Security, Livelihoods, WASH, Nutrition, Disaster Risk Reduction, Natural ResourceManagement, amongst others.
