The CityRAP tool is used for training city managers and municipal technicians in small to intermediate sized cities in sub-Saharan Africa. It enables communities to understand and plan actions aimed at reducing risk and building resilience through the development of a Resilience Framework for Action. The CityRAP tool is a step-by-step participatory resilience planning methodology that includes a set of training exercises and activities targeting municipal authorities, communities and local stakeholders. The implementation of the tool lasts approximately two to three months that are divided into four phases: understanding urban resilience, data collection and organization, data analysis and prioritisation, and development of the city resilience framework for action. A team of external trainers kicks-off the process and supports it throughout each phase, at different levels- sometimes directly on-site and at other times by being available as a remote resource. A small group of at least three people should be trained to lead the process at the city level, hereafter referred as the Municipal Focal Points. They play a very important role as they lead the CityRAP Tool roll-out process, thus collecting data, supporting data analysis, facilitating discussions, ensuring effective communication with partners/stakeholders, actively engaging with communities through participatory approach, and drafting the City RFA.
