| Progress Toward Outcome | Activities under Output 1-3 are ongoing. |
| Implementation Progress | |
| Description of Project Outputs | Country studies to identify opportunities for strengthening the resilience of the urban poor completed Skills for using climate change and disaster risk information for designing pro-poor resilience-building investments improved Preparatory work for investment projects with an explicit focus on strengthening the resilience of urban poor supported |
| Status of Implementation Progress (Outputs, Activities, and Issues) | Output 1: Country diagnostic studies in Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Philippines have been completed, drawing inputs from a series of national consultation workshops with an average of 47 participants (49% women). On 16-18 November 2021, the TA supported the Resilience for the Urban Poor Forum (RUP2021), a virtual event that tackled the findings and recommendations of the country studies and key topics related to building resilience of the urban poor. An average of 22 participants (49% women) from the three countries reported that the event enhanced their awareness on climate and disaster risk-related issues and challenges faced by the urban poor. Output 2: Regional learning sessions were delivered to increase awareness and and improve skills on the use of climate and disaster risk information in designing pro-poor investments in housing and community infrastructure. Project-related activities have also been undertaken in each participating country to increase the capacity of government stakeholders to incorporate climate and disaster resilience considerations in project design. In addition, specific capacity building activities aligned with the country study findings in Indonesia and the Philippines have been supported. Output 3: The TA is supporting the preparatory work for Livable Settlements Investment Project in Indonesia and Second Coastal Towns Environmental Infrastructure Improvement Project in Bangladesh to incorporate resilience considerations in project design based on findings from country studies and related analytical work. |
