Urban resilience measurement: An approach guide and training curriculum.

This curriculum was developed for the Asian Resilience Monitoring and Evaluation Experiential Learning Event, designed for USAID missions and implementing partners across Asia, and supported with a grant from TOPS. The learning event is targeted at select USAID staff and implementing partners from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal and the Philippines. The Asian Resilience Monitoring & Evaluation Experiential Learning Event is designed to be delivered in two complementary modules. Module 2 focuses on urban resilience within South and Southeast Asia and Module 1 covers resilience in rural contexts where food and livelihood security are of primary concern. TANGO International was the lead content developer and facilitator for Module 1, while Mercy Corps lead the development and facilitation of Module 2. This curriculum accompanies the second module of the event, focused on urban resilience measurement. It is designed for wider use across USAID missions and by implementing partners working on urban resilience. The objective of the learning event is to ensure that key stakeholders receive training on advanced resilience measurement practices in rural and urban environments, by providing a hands-on learning opportunity to assess resilience capacities, develop resilience indices and indicators, and apply these through a program monitoring and evaluation framework. As part of building a foundation for strong measurement, the event also focuses on the design of resilience programs.
