Nairobi and other cities invited to join resilient cities campaign

19 November 2021

Topic AfRP21, Resilience.
Country Kenya.

Cities around the world face an increase in disasters, climate change and other risks like the COVID-19 pandemic. The assumption of risk cannot be decentralized or assigned solely to one particular public service provider. Multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder local planning bodies need to be involved. It is critical that cities plan not only to reduce risk, but also to invest in resilience-building: enabling systems, services, and people to respond to the crisis, cope with shocks, and rebound.

Carole Gachacha discusses Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030), a cross-stakeholder initiative that aims to create city-to-city learning networks, inject technical expertise, and connect agencies from multiple layers.
