What do we mean when we talk about resilience?

Resilience is a word we use a lot at Concern, but what does it mean? In general terms, it is a characteristic that describes a person’s capacity to cope in difficult times. But in humanitarian aid and development work, the word ‘resilience’ is used in a very specific way to discuss a community’s response to disasters, shocks and stresses.
