CITY RESILIENCE ACTION PLANNING (City. RAP) Tool

City. RAP: A flagship Di. MSUR initiative Di. MSUR mandate: Provide technical assistance and knowledge on Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation and Urban Resilience in response to the needs of Member States. DIMSUR Launch Event, Maputo, June 2013 • Initially concerning Mozambique, Madagascar, Comoros and Malawi • Non-Profit • Autonomous/non political • Regional/international status • Headquartered in Maputo with representation in each Member State • Open membership to other sub-Saharan African countries

KEY CHALLENGES FOR BUILDING RESILIENCE in small and medium cities, or at the neighbourhood level of bigger cities 1. Lack of technical capacity and experiences 2. Lack of data and information 3. Lack of financial resources Existing tools are often too complex, data hungry and not adapted to the reality of these cities

THE CITY RESILIENCE ACTION PLANNING TOOL Four principles: 1 3 Targets small to intermediate cities or municipal districts within bigger cities Leverages local knowledge through clear concepts and a participatory approach 2 4 The municipality is the leader of the process from day one Leads to a Resilience Framework for Action

The 5 Resilience Pillars of the City. RAP Tool Urban Disaster Risk Management Urban Governance Urban Economy and Society Urban Planning and Environment Resilient Infrastructure and Basic Services

RISK MAPPING AT CITY LEVEL Identify the main risks that affect the city Choose neighborhoods for community risk mapping Phase 1

TRAINING THE MUNICIPAL FOCAL POINTS Provide Municipal Focal Points with knowledge and skills to lead the resilience planning process Phase 1

DATA COLLECTION AND ORGANISATION: INSTITUTIONAL SELF ASSESSMENT § Assess the state of the city’s resilience through the knowledge, opinions and perceptions of municipal staff § Raise awareness on urban resilience Phase 2

Phase 2 PRIORITY ISSUES AT COMMUNITY LEVEL

FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONS FOR EACH RESILIENCE PILLAR Thematic focus groups (representatives from municipality, community, NGOs, CSOs and other relevant stakeholders) for each pillar of resilience analyse the data collected during Phase 2 and discuss the main shortcomings and priorities. Phase 3

PRIORITISATION WORKSHOP Phase Key local stakeholders convene to discuss and decide upon priorities to build urban resilience based on the results of municipal self-assessment, community consultations and focus group discussions. 3

From PLANNED ACTIONS to the preparation for the actual IMPLEMENTATION Phase 4 • The identified priority actions are discussed in specialised focus groups and are broken down into activities with assigned responsibilities • Activities are categorised temporally into shortterm (0 -2 years), medium-term (3 -5 years) and long-term (6 -10 years) • A required budget is estimated for each activity • ONE responsible office/entity is assigned to EACH activity (NB: if an activity involves more offices/entities, then a LEAD ENTITY will be assigned for coordination purposes)

MAPPING COMPONENT Phase 4

Set up a MONITORING and EVALUATION Framework Phase 4 • A spider web per RFA Component is prepared, starting with the baseline assessment in terms of scoring for each priority issue • The evolution/performance of each RFA Component is monitored every two years and short evaluation report is produced • The RFA is updated based on the recommendations derived from the 2 -years evaluation report

CITY RAP RESPONDING TO CHALLENGES in small and medium cities, or at the neighbourhood level of bigger cities 1. Lack of technical capacity and experience Reinforces capacity, transfer skills and tools to municipal technicians through trainings, on-the-job exercises and group activities 2. Lack of data and information Leverage local knowledge and information to kickstart processes; identify key gaps for future action through the RFA 3. Lack of financial resources RFA can be powerful tool mobilising and channeling resources
