Integrating resilience into municipal infrastructure delivery in Kenya: Guidance note for municipal and county engineer and planners - Urban Resilient Infrastructure Guideline
This Resilient Urban Infrastructure Guidelines forms one of a suite of reports developed by AECOM for the World Bank Group under the ‘Enhancement of Resilient Urban Planning and Infrastructure Investments in Urban Areas in Kenya’ assignment and constitutes Deliverable 2. This guidance note is based on a diagnostic assessment (Urban Resilient Infrastructure Assessment Report) of municipal infrastructure investments under the Kenya Urban Support Program (KUSP) 2018 – 2023. It is also based on a literature review and stakeholder consultations that were used to identify realistic interventions to increase the resilience of municipal infrastructure delivery.
This guidance note provides simple guidance for increasing the resilience of municipal infrastructure projects, and of communities, to physical risks, notably impacts of climate change. This will increase the sustainability of investments under the Second Kenya Urban Support Program (KUSP2), enabling them to perform their required function for their proposed design life, in a changing climate. It follows, roughly chronologically, the project development and design process.
