BRCiS (Building Resilient Communities in Somalia) is a humanitarian Consortium that takes a holistic approach to supporting Somali communities in developing their capacities to understand and manage hazards and shocks so that they can build a better future for themselves.
About BRCiS | Latest news | Resource hub
Our approach is participatory, area based and data-driven. Interventions are carefully designed to contribute to regenerate ecosystems, shock proof livelihoods and reduce risks relating to health and displacement crises in the long term, while also supporting local anticipatory and early action to immediate shocks.
Created in 2013, the Consortium now has eight members and is led by The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). It manages a portfolio of contracts implemented in all Federal Member States of Somalia and funded by various donors, including FCDO, the World Bank, USAID, QFFD and more.
