Save the Children's DRR & CCA work in context
• Integrated model of risk and hazard: Extreme events as well as
everyday risks such as social political and economic are addressed e.g.
violence, urban governance, social exclusion of women & children,
migrant labor.
• Integrated model also connects the urban to rural and vice versa
• Work with public and private partnerships, including local
governments, private sector companies to ensure sustainability
• Save the Children is therefore contributing towards Goal 11 of the SDG
“Make Cities and Human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable”
• Sendai Framework emphasized – “invest in DRR for Resilience”
(Priority 3) and “enable Children and Youth as agents of change”

• Initiated in 2015, the partnership covers urban disaster risk reduction programmes in 5
countries (Brazil, Mexico, India, China & Bangladesh)
• Accompanied with a framework research and evidence building project that seeks to
generate new knowledge, document good practice from ongoing initiatives as well as
promote cross-program learning.
• India, China & Bangladesh alone target over 200 000 mothers and their children.
• Specifically:
• Urban programming tools e.g. Vulnerability assessments
• Advocating system change e.g. policy practice shifts
• Knowing and using what works through ex ante & ex post evaluations
• Focus on mothers
Key Outcomes and Impacts:
- Helping communities recover and become resilient through humanitarian assistance and
DRR

Five fold approach and pillars of action
• Preparedness action is an integration part
of our DRR programming.
• Resilience building among beneficiaries
through enabling coping capacities
• Establishing and piloting innovative
approaches to Early Warning Systems.
• Mitigation measures form an integral part
of our DRR programming. This component
is resourced from existing projects, or
leveraged from other sources.
• Save the Children believes DRR is the first
step towards Climate Change Adaptation.

Standards and Innovations in Resilience
Children Groups, Mothers Groups, Child
Protection Committee are championing
the risk and vulnerability maps at local
level and transforming them as SMART
plans to transform their vulnerabilities and
become resilient.
Innovative Local DMRCs (Disaster
Management Resource Centre) are in
emergence with application of new
technologies including GIS mapping, etc
which would eventually become a local
knowledge hub for a culture of resilience
Comprehensive School Safety (CSS) /
World Initiative on School Safety (WISS) are
creatively incorporated into Resilience
Building in order achieve three pillars: Safe
Learning Facilities, School Disaster
Management Planning and Incorporation of
Risk and Resilience Education
Adoption of Local Resilience and
Adaptation plans by the Governance and
Respective line-departments. This is now
emerging as a 15-year road map in some
of the states

Standards and Innovations in Resilience
Smart City Mission and Resilience Building:
Citizen Participation is an important principle of Smart City Mission. Through
urban resilience building actions, we coordinate with city authorities to ensure
that a city is smart i.e. addressing the vulnerabilities, concerns and issues of
children and youth.
Futuristic Innovations: ‘Technology Cottage of Resilience’
– Local Urban Disaster Management Resource Centre (U-DMRC)
U-DMRC is an innovative concept. Technologies are shaping and re-shaping our
future ways of living, communicating and defining our lives in cities, towns and
villages. The technology integration into U-DMRC will help the small electronic cottage
with dynamic technology incorporation. This electronic cottage must be at the heart of
urban lives and in the schools right from very early stage.

Operating Procedures and Resilience Capacity –
as replicable models for duty bearers, government
and civil society.
• Working with Education as a sector is the single
most effective way to reach vulnerable
communities and governments.
• Children and Youth Centered Disaster Risk Reduction
• City and vulnerability studies scoping for resilience agenda and futuristic drive

Public Private Partnership (PPP) Imperatives
In the face of multiplying disasters and every day risks, the investment in Integrated Resilience
Building protects business investments, and harnesses skills and labor, as well as broadening
economic growth by protecting investments and development projects, as well as targeting areas of
low economic growth.
1. Platform Partnership enlarges the scope of impact in order to bring value to resilience building
through sectoral and niche approach which includes children, gender, disability, etc. 100 Resilient
Cities partnership with Rockefeller Foundation is a unique example in this regard.
2. Evidence Based Integrated Programme Partnership for urban risk management and resilience
building. Partnership with C&A Foundation in 3 continents is enabling leadership and transformation
for children and youth as well as mothers and others as champions for holistic impact, change and
transformative processes.
3. Technical partnership – through studies, publications, piloting innovative concepts – such as City
and Resilience study in Chennai after 2015 flooding.
4. Strategic / Transformative Partnership which impact ground level changes and policy, where in
the vulnerable are given space and modalities to define and determine their own resilience is crucial.

• Risk informed contingency planning
• Framework partnership agreements and resource allocation
• Resilience building is about business continuity planning assured:
- Protecting investments made
- Stability and retention of the capacity of vulnerable communities and
other stakeholders
- Crisis modifier funding and flexibility
Learning Lessons and Moving Forward:
 Urban Resilience is an opportunity as well as a challenge
 We need to incorporate holistic analysis within thematic-specific interventions
 We must focus on the most deprived urban children
 Good urban programs empower the most deprived to claim their rights
