RAD I

The Resilience Action Dialogues (RADs) are convened by the Centre for Complex Systems in Transition as a way to deepen understanding about the concept of resilience and its application in development work in southern Africa.

This first RAD took place in November 2018 in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and led to the establishment of a Community of Practice in Resilience for the region. Click the links below to find out more.
