Exchange between Dutch, Lebanese and Tunisian cities in the Making Cities Resilient campaign
Under the Arab Cities Disaster Resilience Project implemented by UNDP, UNISDR and SDC, a city to city exchange was organized to expose local and national authorities to best practices on urban disaster risk reduction. In coordination with UNESCO-IHE the event took place June 1-3 and brought together the cities of Delft, Rotterdam, and Dordecht (Netherlands) with Ain Darahm ( Tunisia), and Saida ( Lebanon).
The purpose of the exchange was to :
- Identify the participating cities' complementary strengths and weaknesses based on the new ten essentials of the Making Cities Resilient campaign.
- To develop concrete steps for improvements within the scope of selected essentials, based on the presented strengths and weaknesses.
- To provide hands-on experience on how to develop tailored actions using the ten essentials as guiding principles.
- To assess (quick-scan) future training and capacity building needs for cities.
- To identify the role and place of a learning platform to accommodate those needs.
