Characteristics of Resilient Organizations

Resilient organizations that achieve lasting impact share these characteristics:

  • Engagement – Ability to lead and mobilize communities
  • Impact – Use of evaluation and learning to drive compelling program impact

These four characteristics shape everything we do at NSC, from planning and evaluation to community engagement and resource development.
