The core of building resilient and inclusive societies is for local communities to develop customised approaches based on their own understanding of the risks with which they live and the assets and capacities they bring to coping with challenge, threat, and adversity. 

Co-design is based on the understanding that building increasingly self-aware and self-mobilising communities will, in the future, see a reduction in reliance on Government led top-down intervention to complex social policy issues.  

While Government remains an important actor in countering these trends, policies and programs from the past few years shows that community capacity building is likely to have a more sustained impact.
