                         Community Resilience Going to Scale Resources

By: Hotak

More talented individuals and scholars of Afghan community, interested in community resiliencies to grow and go to scaling resources, have always trie d to think about or experience ‘what resilience seed could be connected to scale up’. To work around this idea I have developed my own thoughts based on the following seeds;

A) Successes in community:

This is one major seed that can connect to scale up. Community successes may grow in consideration of the following elements that have direct link to the seed;
