BRCiS Consortium

Building Resilient Communities in Somalia (BRCiS) is a humanitarian consortium that holistically supports Somali communities in developing resilience to minor shocks without undermining their ability to move out of poverty. Since the consortium’s creation in 2013, it has evolved to meet emerging needs quickly, establishing systems and partnerships that centre on communities and adapt to the changing context.

The multiprogramme, multidonor consortium has implemented over $232 million of funded activities since 2013. Our programmes balance early response to short-term humanitarian needs with the longer-term aim of building community and household resilience against the shocks that drive such needs. Today, BRCiS comprises nine national and international NGO members and leverages the technical expertise and resources of each partner.
