6. Tool 9 Participatory resilience
planning at the community level
Step !: Preparation for the community engagement
• In preparation for the engagement with communities, the Strategy
Management Team will carry out the following tasks:
• Help the communities to recognise their territory and identify
resilience issues facing them, an A0 or A1 print out of a satellite
imagery of the neighbourhood for each indicator.
• Identify the relevant questions (variables) from the City Resilient
AssessmentQuestionnaire for discussion with the specific community
• Meet with the relevant community leaders of the targeted
neighbourhood to adequately prepare for the exercise

7. Tool 9 application cont:
• All relevant local stakeholders (e.g. community leaders, civil
society, women groups, youth groups, local administrators,
religious leaders, representatives from education, health,
business sectors, etc.) who are supposed to participate in the
consultation will be identified and invited for the participatory
resilience planning.
• Participants will be selected in a way that they represent all
groups and different interests within the community. Ideally,
an effective discussion should have a total number of
participants not exceeding 40 and not below 15 people.

8. Tool 9 application cont:
Step 2: Implementation of the community consultation
• The Strategy ManagementTeam and the City Focal Points will be
the main facilitators of the participatory resilience planning session.
• Firstly, they will present themselves to the community and get
acquainted with the identity and main representational function of
all the meeting’s participants.This will help create a rapport and
understand the community.
• Then they will start the consultation by explaining the purpose and
overall approach of the consultation, making sure that all
participants, especially women and the most vulnerable people are
given an opportunity to talk and express their needs and opinions

9. Tool 9 application cont:
• Printed high-resolution satellite imageries of the communities for the
participants will be used.
• While conducting the community risk mapping, the Strategy
DevelopmentTeam tasks the participants to select the most vulnerable
areas in their neighborhoods according to pre-defined environmental
and socio-economic criteria.
• For that purpose, the participants are split into groups and are tasked to
reply to questions on areas of the neighborhoods that are most affected
by natural hazards, neighborhoods where higher levels of criminality and
social discontent are registered, areas lacking basic services or where key
infrastructure is missing following the selected 4 pillars of resilience

10. Pillars- FGD Guiding questions
• Health and Wellbeing risk mapping: the participants are
requested to locate among others, the following elements of
health and wellbeing in their neighborhood: livelihood and
employment areas; housing areas with deplorable conditions
(slums and informal settlements); unsafe housing areas;
housing areas not connected to safe drinking water (piped
water); housing areas without safe, reliable and affordable
sanitation (sewer supply); housing areas not connected to
electricity; fresh food and vegetables markets; food production
areas within and around the neighborhood; housing areas that
receive social support systems from the government or
nongovernmental organizations

11. Pillars – FGD Guiding questions
• Economy and Society risks mapping:The participants
are asked to identify the poorest areas of the
neighborhoods or areas with high-level of poverty,
political risk areas, areas where there were outbreaks of
epidemics/diseases (e.g. cholera, malaria, etc.) or where
high levels of crime are observed; identify the location of
important economic facilities (banks, business centres,
shopping malls, markets, etc.)

12. Pillars – FGD Guiding questions
• Infrastructure and Ecosystems risk mapping: the participants
are requested to locate among others, the following
services/infrastructure in their community:
• Water, sanitation: primary drainage network, main water supply and
tanks/water storage facilities, wastewater collection and treatment
infrastructure, solid waste collection and disposal, etc.;
• Energy: power substations, power transmission lines, energy
sources, wayleave, pipeline depots etc.;
• Transportation: main transport modes (roads, railways, water ways,
non-motorized transport), transport terminals (bus stations, airport,
airstrips, train stations, harbors, ports) etc.;

13. Infrastructure and Ecosystem cont:
• Main public facilities: education facilities (ECDEs, primary, secondary,
tertiary, universities), health facilities (clinics, dispensaries, health centres,
sub county hospitals, county hospitals, national referrals), markets, religious
centres, community facilities, etc.;
• Security services: firefighting and rescue centres, police stations,
correctional centres etc.;
• Communication: radio/TV station, cell phone towers and existing
telecommunication infrastructure.
• Environmentally sensitive areas prone to flooding, building collapse,
drought, land-slides, urban and forest fires, armed conflicts, human and
animal diseases, pests, earthquakes, infrastructure collapse,Tsunami, road
accidents etc.; safe areas/havens and evacuation routes

14. Pillars – FGD guiding questions
• Leadership and Strategy risk mapping: the participants
are requested to locate the various
administrative/government buildings in their
neighborhoods, as applicable; the participants will also be
requested to distinguish planned from unplanned areas;
then identify, as appropriate: industrial areas, agricultural
areas, environmentally sensitive areas, main public
spaces (e.g. public squares, national parks and
conservation areas, recreation

15. Step 3: Prioritization of risk
reduction and resilience building
action
• In this step, the Strategy Management Team will
• Prepare a list of potential and feasible solutions/measures to reduce risk and strengthen the
resilience of the neighbourhoods.This will be based on the ranking of the identified risks as
per the guiding questionnaire, and community responses.
• Moderate the discussions during the prioritisation exercise, making sure that community’s
representatives of all the different groups and stakeholders have a say.
• Establish on what is more feasible, based on local knowledge and according to available
financial and human resources in the neighbourhood, avoiding relying totally on the city
authorities.
• Attention will be paid to aspects related with sustainability, equality, and alignment to
existing plans for that area of the city.
• As much as possible, map in the satellite imagery the prioritised solutions/ measures (or risk
reduction and resilience building actions).

Stakeholder Risk PrioritizationTool

20. Steps in filling the result matrix for
urban resilience
• Step 1. Filling the Results Matrix for urban resilience measurement
• Populate each resilience pillar with results from the completed tools
• Include names of city departments and other consulted stakeholders (insert columns)
• Fill in corresponding scores (1,2,3,4,5)
• Fill in the total score for the city as a whole
• Note maximum and minimum possible scores (minimum= 1 x number of departments
responding to the question, maximum is five times the same)
• Calculate the total score for each question to be inserted in the column entitled city as a
whole. Calculate the average score as indicated in the Resilience Measurement Data Results
Matrix
• Indicate meaning of average indicator score value e.g. 1-<2 = minimum resilience, 2-<3=
some resilience, 3-<4= average resilience, 4-<5= resilient, 5 = full resilience

21. Step 2: Assess Performance of
City Systems
• The Strategy DevelopmentTeam compiles quantitative
data on the resilience performance of the city systems so
as to establish the status and inform the development of
a resilience strategy.This exercise will be done using the
city resilience performance tools

22. Step 3. Summarising comments
• Elaboration of a summary of all comments from the
answers in the comments column of the tool (qualitative
& quantitative). Thematic issues arising from the
comments will be mapped out.
• Generation of findings from the comments for further
debate in the stakeholder focus group discussion

23. Step 4. Collecting additional
information
• Additional information from existing plans, reports,
strategies, policies, and any other documents.
• Compilation of additional information documentation
from city departments i.e. key information from existing
relevant documents.
• Generation of findings from the additional information

24. Step 5. Prepare to hold the
stakeholders’ focus group discussions
(validation and prioritization
workshop)
• Invited participants who are knowledgeable of the
resilience pillar to be discussed
• The Strategy DevelopmentTeam and the city
management adhere to gender sensitivity and age in
choosing participants.
• Invitations of identified stakeholders are sent out (refer to
previously undertaken preliminary stakeholder mapping)
