  • Building Collective Capacity to Disrupt Urban Risk Traps

Program background
There exists an important knowledge gap regarding the relationship between informal settlement tenants and structure owners, including the rights and entitlements of inhabitants of informal settlements, and how security or insecurity of tenure relates to individual and household vulnerability. Such information is critical for developing urban informal settlement policy and has important implications for future urban development planning.

Priority areas
  • Urban disaster trends and the influencing factors
  • Vulnerability and capacity assessment
  • Effects of urban disaster on household livelihoods
  • Urban disaster risks and resilience building
