Since 2015 the Africa Climate
Business Plan (ACBP) has been a galvanizing platform for
climate action. Progress achieved to date includes
resilience capacity enhancement across the ACBP portfolio,
demonstrating that well-designed interventions can further
bolster multiple pathways to build resilience. The Africa
Climate-Resilient Investment Facility (AFRI-RES) aims to
strengthen the capacity of African institutions and the
private sector to plan, design and implement investments in
selected sectors to increase their resilience to climate
change. One AFRI-RES’ components is the identification of
good practices and the development of guidelines to inform
decision-making on incorporating climate risk into
infrastructure planning and design, across different sectors
and stages of the project cycle. The Resilience Attributes
Guidance Note builds on the results of an ex-post analysis
conducted on 57 ACPB projects, which indicates that core
resilience capacities could be built through multiple
pathways by paying attention to activities that strengthen
resilience attributes (i.e. robustness, learning,
redundancy, rapidity, connectedness, diversity, flexibility
and inclusion). These attributes can be realized through a
variety of activities or interventions designed into a
project, and contribute to building adaptive, absorptive,
and/or transformative capacities. This approach was further
been validated through meetings with Task Teams from the
Africa Region, where teams expressed a strong interest to
explore further the viability of testing and applying this
approach in an ex-ante context. This Guidance Note presents
a dynamic approach that can be adapted by TTLs to meet their
specific needs and improve the design and implementation of
resilience building operations. Instead of a prescriptive or
an exclusive approach, the Guidance provides multiple entry
points for teams to complement, deepen and/or strengthen the
way they think about, design, implement and track progress
of resilience initiatives. |
