Dakar, Senegal

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.

WP2.2 research focuses on the impacts of rising temperatures in Dar es Salaam on the health of urban residents, as well as possible adaptation options.

North West Freetown. E.Osuteye

WP4.1 research examines the governance and planning practices in Sierra Leone and how they promote or reduce urban risk.

Ibadan, Nigeria

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. 

Karonga, Malawi

WP1 - Vulnerability Assessment: 

Lideta, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

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.

Mombasa, Kenya

WP1 - Vulnerability Assessment:

Niamey, Niger

WP1 - Vulnerability Assessment:

Work in Niamey focuses on developing a new methodology to investigate aspects of resilience in very poor urban contexts where economic assets are universally constrained. It was developed to explore scope for adapting a rural food security monitoring tool, the Household Economy Approach (HEA), to urban contexts. Additional work being undertaken in Niamey includes urban textures analysis and a DesInventar study.
