Scope of Project: UN Habitat wanted to extend the reach of their current programmes by bringing their cityRAP tool into a digital education context. The cityRAP tool trains city managers and municipal technicians in small to intermediate sized cities in sub-Saharan Africa to understand and plan actions aimed at reducing risk and building resilience through the elaboration of a City Resilience Action Plan. The main principle of the CityRAP is ownership by the local government. It is designed as an enabling rather than prescriptive tool. It is understood as a set of training exercises and activities directed at municipalities that kick start the resilience action planning process.

Our Work: Working closely with UN Habitat, Panoply Digital is developing an online learning programme for city managers and municipal technicians in small to intermediate sized cities in sub-Saharan Africa to complement the work being done in person by UN Habitat.

Countries Served: sub-Saharan Africa,
