Business Skills for Emergency and Recovery Contexts 

Based on years of experience in diverse emergency contexts, CRS has developed this comprehensive package of capacity building tools to reinforce rural livelihoods programs in emergency recovery. In response to emergencies--including natural disasters, conflict, food shortages or chronic poverty--CRS focuses on efforts that save lives. Once the situation has stabilized, our focus turns to supporting communities to preserve livelihoods and productive assets. This toolkit is meant to be tailored into a sustainable methodology that meets participants’ capacities wherever they find themselves on the pathway to prosperity: emergency, recover, build, grow or prosper.
