WP1 - Vulnerability Assessment:

Research currently underway in Ibadan for WP1 innovates a city scale DesInventar methodology that is explicitly designed to draw out extensive as well as intensive loss data and underlying social vulnerability. 

The CityRAP  tool is a step by step process, elaborated by UN-Habitat and DiMSUR, composed by a set of training workshops, participatory exercises and field activities that provides a path for urban resilience action planning.

WP1 - Vulnerability Assessment:

In Nairobi, Dakar and Mombasa a common research approach under WP1 focuses on the health impacts of a key everyday, human-induced primary hazard - namely poor solid waste management (SWM), and relevant associated secondary hazards, such as soil, groundwater and air pollution, flooding and fires.
