Promoting and measuring self-reliance is a key component of sustainable livelihood promotion, especially in urban settings. Self-reliance is defined as the social and economic ability of an individual, a household, or a community to meet its needs in a sustainable manner. This learning brief examines the insights from the RE:BUiLD Program interventions implemented to support refugees and vulnerable host communities towards achieving self-reliance. The brief also provides highlights on how Re:BUiLD has been able to apply the self-reliance index (SRI) as a tool for measuring self-reliance.
