Framework for Community Resilience Assessment and Measurement (FRAME)

Organisation profile

FRAME aims to address the problem of community resilience and sustainability under regular and crisis situations in South East Asian countries.  To achieve this aim, an integrated framework for assessing and measuring community resilience in South East Asian countrieswill be developed. 

FRAME focusses on Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11). Community resilience is one of the major pillars of SDG 11. One of the key targets of SDG 11 is the significant reduction of deaths and the number of people affected and the significant decrease of economic losses caused by disasters with focus on protecting poor and vulnerable populations (Target 11.5). FRAME addresses directly this target, while it cuts across a number of other Sustainable Development Goals including: Good Health and Well Being (SDG 3), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Industry Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Climate Action (SDG 13) and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17).
