1 + 1 = 3: How practitioners can synergize resilience across health and beyond

This study identifies seven systemic gaps that reinforce a persistent know–do gap, creating an unhealthy milieu intérieur that reinforces fragmentation across SSLs. In response, seven prerequisites for synergizing resilience are proposed, along with a working definition of Synergistic Resilience.

The SRC serves as a practical ,adaptable tool to advocate for, plan, and manage resilience initiatives across sectors and system levels. It supports 360-degreestakeholder engagement and guides all stages of program implementation. The SRC provides a structured yet flexible framework for analyzing system-level interactions, developing assessment tools, and applying its 44constituents as a coding scheme in qualitative research. Grounded in a blended constructivist–pragmatist epistemology, it enables both context-sensitive inquiry and real-world application. These applications of SRC are expected to synergize resilience in response to today’s demanding challenges in a 1+1=3 way.
