 Okay. In the meantime, Susheela, it's okay if I read some messages. Yeah, sure. Please go ahead. So we have Faisalisa from the Embassy of Ireland in Tanzania. We have Paisa, Vincent Gini, he's a climate resilience advisor from the UK, FCTO based in Glasgow in Scotland. Meet Lee Warren and Sunny here today. This was my message. I'm Gabriella Cáceres from Goal. I'm Honduran, but based in Mexico City. And today is a cloudy day. Looking forward to learn with you in the session. We have Sharon Kibor from Christine Aid in Kenya, joining from our Soviet town. We have Sydney. I'm based in South Africa and with the Adoptation Research Alliance. It's Misty and Risley here today. We have hello everyone. My name is Gloria. I'm Mexican and I'm living in England. So hello from Mexico City. I am PhD researcher. The weather is lovely today, warm and sunny. I hope everyone is doing great and can join the session. Hello, everyone. I am Nupama from Mercy Court and Nepal. And we have Saroj Katakur from Mercy Court, Nepal. Greetings from Nepal. I am Hasta working in Mercy Court, Nepal. Great to be here. We have Shilal, who's obviously presenting with us today. We have Sanjita from Nepal working with Mercy Court in managing risk for economic development. We have Kilembe vulnerability advisors in the Embassy of Ireland in Longway, Malawi. We have Manan Peria from IDE in Nepal. Glad to be with all of you in this session. Malhebe from Conservation South Africa. We have Edel based in other lands. Oh, I guess I know Edel. I am from the Care Climate Change and Resilience Platform. Conferring Edel is at you, the same Edel that I met in this year in January. This is Saini Sahil from Pakistan. Okay, thank you. Thanks everyone. Thanks Gabriela. It's already like 42 participants and we are already like five, seven minutes ahead of the time. So we want to go and start right away. Please drop your name and your organization on the chat box. We are looking through it to introduce yourself. So let me start with the basic housekeeping. This meeting is recorded by IED and some part of it will be made available in the website. And we have, we request everyone to discourage, to share the link of this meeting on the social media because this is the main source of Zoom bombing. And we are taking security precautions to discourage uninvited participants. If you notice such content, please notify the host via the chat function and we will remove them immediately. For the best meeting experience, please close all the non-ashincil applications on your device like Skypes or Teams. I think you are all aware of the Zoom and this iPhone already. We have been going through this for a whole three days on the session. But let me quickly run through this to you. You have this on mute button. We request you to unmute yourself throughout the session. And in breakout group session, we encourage you to open your mic and speak. And if the host requests you to open it and share some observations, you can open it. But we request you to open your video for the live experience. And if the bandwidth is not supporting you, please off your video so that the bandwidth will support the audio as well. You can see the participant icon and you can interact with the host using the icon at the button. And the chat function is enabled for this meeting. So we highly encourage you to ask questions, share your observations from the session in the chat box. And we will be monitoring the chat box regularly and responding to the chat box. Share the screen and recording is disabled for the participant for this meeting. But we encourage you to give reactions to the presentation when it's happening to encourage our presenters. And if you want to rename yourself, you can go to the participants, go to the select more mode and then rename. We encourage you to write your name and your organization so that it's clear to see who are joining with us and who are from which organization as well. So that's from my side. And I want to pass the today's session of multiple tools and resilience measurement to chat. Over to you, Chet. Thank you, Cecila. Hi, everyone. And welcome again. Thank you for joining us in the community-based adaptation. And I'm working as a regional program director for managing risk-to-economic development program. This is a multi-country regional flagship program in Mexico. And I'll be here today as a technical facilitator. So we have two different organizations who have invested almost a decade in unpacking the component. We have two different organizations who have invested almost a decade in unpacking the complexity of resilience and how we measure it. So we have Gabriella from Goal and Srilal from Mercy Corps presenting today. So while we are here and what you can expect to hear in this session today, this session will be jointly hosted by Goal and Mercy Corps. Before we go into how we measure resilience, we'll start with the concept of resilience, which will be followed by the presentation from Goal and Mercy Corps. Each organization will walk you through the tools that they have applied for resilience measurement. I would also suggest all participants to keep noting a few things during the measurement tools presentation, particularly what is the guiding framework that these organizations have used for resilience measurement? In what context those tools were applied and at what level those tools were applied? This will also help at the end during the breakout session where we will discuss about the factors to be considered while selecting the tools or approaches. We are not promoting our tools. Our intention is to provide a framework that would help to make decisions about selecting the right type of resilience measurement tools. It is important to understand the uniqueness of our program context and the purpose of measurement that will ultimately help us to right-size the measurement tools and methods for our program and context. Otherwise, unpacking complex resilience will be a bit challenging. I can see a lot of people almost the room is full, which is also an indication that there is a genuine interest to understand the complex resilience and its measurement. I would also like to say that let's not overthink that resilience is not complex as you might be thinking, but also it's not an easy concept as well. Most of the time what we have seen is us who makes it complicated. We will try our best to provide the clarity as well. Let's get started and spend some time unpacking what resilience means. What is resilience? I would like to hear from you. We will use the Mentimeter to capture your understanding. You are allowed to use maximum three words that define resilience. We will visit menti.com and use the link and the password. You can find it in the chat box. Please click on the link. I don't see any response coming out. Let us know if you have difficulty accessing. Well, capacity, transformation, empowerment, adaptation, transformation, ability to respond, the capacity, transformation and adaptation looks like that's the word being repeated mostly. Thank you. There are more responses coming up, but I think this is fine for now. Some of the few words that were coming up were related to capacities, ability, transformation. There is a good understanding about resilience already in this room. We will go through how we have defined resilience in goal or mercy core. We will also look at some other definition as well. In an ideal situation, as a result of a development program, we expect the welding of our program and our target groups of community to increase overtime, but this is not what we see in the reality. Those who are exposed to multiple shock and stresses, particularly the most vulnerable, gets affected by shock and stresses time and again. As a result of inequality or poor access to resources, the vulnerable will fail to bounce back to the next shock. Ultimately, they get pushed into a vicious spiral of poverty. How to prevent that then? How to make sure that the individual household of the communities are not using the negative coating strategies or compromising their welding that makes it difficult for them to recover our bounce back after the shock. This is where the resilience comes in. What is resilience? Let's go through some of the definitions. There are various definitions of resilience. The one in the slide is just from three different organizations. Your organization might have your own definition as well. Depending on which organization you are representing or where you are representing, individual household, community or institutions, the definition of resilience might be different for each of you. But there should be a common framework that defines resilience and use that framework to contextualize the definition as per your need. We will talk about that shortly. Let's go through some of these definitions that we see provided by some organization. The United Union DRR defined resilience as the ability of a system community or society exposed to hazard to resist absorb, accommodate, adapt to transform and recover from the effect of hazard in a timely and efficient manner. Including through the preservation or restoration of the essential basic structure and functions through risk management. Similarly, in Mercy Corps resilience is defined as the capacity of the community in the social, ecological system to learn, cope, adapt and transform in the face of stress. In Gold, it is defined as the ability of community and household living within the complex system to anticipate and adapt to risk of response and recover from shock and stresses in a timely and effective manner without compromising their long-term prospect and ultimately improving their well-being. So, these were the three definitions. Maybe what I would like to request to you is look at these three definitions and jot down some of the similarities that you find common in the definition that's used by these three different organizations. So, I would like to request you to put your response in the chat box. The question is, what are the common elements? What are the similarities that you see common between the three definition that we just ran through? What do you find similarities? Capacity, shock and stress, adaptation, shock and stress, capacity, complex situation, capacity to adapt, shock and stress, extreme situations, adaptive capacity, capacity or ability to adapt and transform people's well-being, great. A lot of capacity is being repeated. Okay, great. Thank you. Thanks everyone for your response. So, we saw a lot of common word in any other organizations who have defined this. We see some of these common words coming up. And we have in common what we have found is we've seen like communities or households being clearly defined. It includes, the resilience defines also includes the system. It includes the capacity. When it comes to capacity, then we see a lot of repetition coming up about anticipation, job, adapt and transform. And it also talks about the process. So, there are five resilience questions that we used to understand each of these elements that helps us to define resilience for a particular program or context. It could mean it could sense depending on the context we can define resilience to that context specifically. So, what are those five resilience questions that we use? So, the first one is for whom? Which indicates the vulnerable group. Who are the most vulnerable? Whether it's an individual or a vulnerable household or the vulnerable community. The second one is about the system of what? We want to understand the system and the target group relies, which could be social, economic or ecological system. The third question, to what? What type of shock and stress that affects the people or the system that they rely on? And the fourth one, through what? Which is about the capacities that's required to reduce the exposure and sensitivity of the most vulnerable. And finally, the well-being. This is about and we define this in a spectrum, let's go to another slide where we will explain a bit more. So, why we use these five questions to understand resilience is resilience could mean anything. So, we have to and we use these five questions to define the boundaries. And this is just an example of using resilience questions in a graphical form. This is the resilience framework that Mercy Corps have applied globally as a guide to design, implement and major resilience. Both Mercy Corps and Goal, resilience of course is guided by the same people and we use similar resilience questions too. Hence, the graphical representation is a less of a concern as the overarching aspect is the same. That's why we are here together facilitating the session. So, as you can see in this graphics, there are all these five questions which should ultimately result into a better well-being as it was highlighted in the resilience definition as well. And you can, on the right side, you can see the well-being being presented in a spectrum which is household or community may totally collapse or nothing may happen which depends on the ability of household or community to access and use the capacity that we built through our program. But anyway, to understand the resilience better, we use these five questions to define our boundaries, to define resilience in our contracts. So, next. So, what is and what isn't resilience? So, resilience framework can be applied in any program or any context. It isn't an end goal. It isn't mean to an end. A process that demands the systemic upwards in designing, implementing and measuring the resilience so that the program or interventions are at risk informed and the development gain is in compromise as a result of shock and stress. Similarly, resilience program design starts with building a good understanding of a system with a silent approach building resilience will be incomplete. With system approach, we also have to embrace the uncertainty that comes with it as we understand the system fully. We can look beyond, we can understand the system in an incremental way, which is possible by building a very good M&A system that looks beyond the conventional base slide or an line of course that informs the shift or the pivot that we have to make in our program approach or strategies because of the change in context or change in a different shock that affects our target group. Next. This is just to share what exists outside. There are various tools being developed and applied by different organizations to measure resilience at different levels. Could be at an individual household community system or even at a country level and depending on the need of the program, the context and how we want to use those tools, you can choose or adapt the tools that fits to your need. This is a good transition to our next discussion about the resilience measurement. Please observe closely how two different organizations have applied the resilience measurement framework to design their measurement tools, the way they have defined the system, the way they have defined the capacities. Both Mercy Corps are applying this tool at a household community level and a system level, but for this training sessions, we will be only focusing at the community level and just in case you are interested on how we use or major or apply some of these tools at other level, please feel free to get in touch with us after the session. Okay, next. So before we start the presentation on the two organizations, here is the quick brainstorming sessions. So we would like you to go through go to amenity.com again and put your response to the questions. What would you consider when you are majoring resilience at the community level? So you can find the link and the code in the chat box. So I would like to repeat it. So what do you need to consider when you are majoring resilience at community level? We have discussed about what is resilience. So when it comes to resilience measurement, so what do we need to consider? And we are saying at the community level. So we need to understand about the context, livelihood, what is the requirement of donor or community context. Our community context is getting repeated. We need to understand what are the different type of shock and stresses. We need to be aware about the social structure. What type of vulnerability that exists in the community. We also should be aware about the social, cultural and economic context as well. Definitely the well-being outcomes. A very good point. What we want to achieve? What changes do we want to see as a result of our program? What well-being outcomes? The power dimension? Scale capacities? What type of risk? So as the I how decisions are made and what social structure exists and how inclusive are those impacts on different social groups. We need to also look at the baseline. Vulnerability. Okay. Okay, great. I think thank you. Thanks everyone for your response. Yeah, I think we will be touching on some of those during our presentation measurement presentation from the two presenters we have. So we'll start that, but please feel free to drop your question in the chat box. We will pick one, some of them after we are done with the presentation. So we'll start with Gabriela from Gold. Gabriela, please introduce yourself and proceed to the presentation. Thank you. Now I'm presenting screen, right? Yeah. So you're seeing the full screen, right? Yeah. Okay, thank you. So, welcome everyone. I'm Gabriela Cáceres from Gold. Let's turn on the video. I'm Gabriela Cáceres from Gold. I'm a collaborator in the community of Gold. So nice to have you here. So let me introduce you briefly. Introduce you to the analysis of the resilience of communities to disasters and Arctic Toolkit. So the Arctic Toolkit was originally published by Gold in 2014 and sets out a practical approach to measure resilience at community level. The Arctic Toolkit is built on the disaster resilience work commissioned by DFID funded institutional group in a publication named characteristics of disaster resilience communities and this was developed by Dr. John Twig. So the toolkit is built on that work but also it was informed by a number of consultation with technical and political stakeholders during a two-year field testing process that took place in 11 countries and across three continents. After that process, the Arctic Toolkit was updated and enhanced and was published again in 2016 and this toolkit is available since then in French, Spanish and English. So the Arctic Toolkit since its first publication in 2014 it has been applied in a little bit more than 16 countries around the world and it was featured in the 2015 European Union Compending on Resilience and that same year the Arctic Toolkit was institutionalized as a nationwide best practice tool in Honduras by the National Disaster Risk Management Authority at that moment. Since then we have applied the Arctic Toolkit in more than 260 assessments either in urban but also in rural context and more than 100 of these assessments are available in Goals Resilience Nexus website. I'll share the link later on and based on all these experiences and work done we were able to develop and publish an academic article about the Arctic Toolkit and this was made in close collaboration with Brand Corporation and the Harvard Humanitarian Institute that was published last year. So how the Arctic works or how is it structured? So first the Arctic Toolkit is structured in 30 resilience disaster resilience components as you can see listed and at the right hand of the screen. And these components are organized in the four priorities of the Sendai framework for action we call them in the tool we call them thematic area so we have four thematic areas that you can see on screen. Among the 30 resilience components that we have I can mention for example participative community risk assessment education of children on DRR, land use planning community decision making rights awareness and advocacy sustainable environmental management or health access and awareness or house resistant livelihood practices social protection critical infrastructure resilience contingency and recovery planning early warning systems and others. So these 30 resilience components will be studied or assessed against a chosen risk scenario against one risk scenario driven by shock or hazard. These 30 components can be also organized in eight sectors or sector of systems. So as you can see on screen there are a lot of numbers around this wheel so we have like two components in terms of education or a number of components in terms of economic systems or environmental health infrastructure and so on. So the RT toolkit is a valuable or has been for goal a valuable entry point for systems analysis. So this means that the RT has helped us to do like a vital science test to understand how are these critical how are critical systems for communities resilience how are these performing for them to identify those systems that are functioning well and that can be leveraged for a better resilience or for a better status of communities resilience or to identify those systems that are dysfunctional or not working well and needs to be strengthened or transformed to really support communities resilience. So the RT doesn't propose to replace tools for analyzing resilience at systems level but to provide a holistic snapshot of the performance of these systems towards communities resilience because we have learned I mean since we have been applying the RT toolkit that a number of these resilient components are outside our communities influence or communities capacities because and this is results because of legal or technical arrangements or institutional arrangements that are not in place and depends on higher administrative levels. Some examples could be early warning systems, land tenure or health services for example. So how the RT toolkit works? Well the RT toolkit works in three main parts like part A, part B and then the analysis of information and so on. So part B, A, sorry it's basically analyzing and gathering data and trying to understand the general context of your community that it's being assessed. This is done by an RT team with no release. We need at least two people working on this. So these people will be or this team will be working on the RT informants interviews, will be reviewing documents, plans, maps, reports and all secondary data that is available. They will be doing field visits in the community to do this direct observation. To finally the final product of part A it's to identify the main shocks and stresses that are affecting or that can affect your community. Once we have done that we analyze and interact or interrelate to conform risk scenarios then we try to understand these risk scenarios and we'll be prioritizing this because we need to select at least one because against that risk scenario we will be assessing the 30 resilience components which are in part B. So once we have identified at least one risk scenario against which we will be assessing the community's resilience we are ready to go to part B. So part B is about developing focus group discussions with community representatives to try to understand what's their resilience level against the chosen risk scenario, the one that we have selected in part A. So here we assess the 30 resilience components through a focus group discussions that will be lead by two facilitators and this will take from three to four hours approximately and we will need to have 12 at least 12 representatives from a community by each focus group develop and the number of focus group develop will depend on your time and resources available and so on. Once we have done so we proceed to the analysis of information we prepare reports and we give this back to our communities and stakeholders. So part B is that it's more in the RdToolkit is that it uses an open source data collection platform called ComCare and we use this to collect data and then to post all this information in one single place in the cloud of the ComCare but also in dashboards on Power BI that we are able to share through the resilience assessment. The heart of the RdT is part B where the resilience assessment takes place and as I was saying the secures lead by two facilitators that will meet at least 12 representatives from the community so the guidance manual of the RdT provides the technical sheet at the right hand and these facilitators will be developing following suggested guiding questions that we offer you in the guidance manual and in the technical sheet by each of the 30 components and if they are doubting or they are not sure about the information we offer you also suggested means of notifications that you can ask in the moment or that you can consult after the discussion have taken place to confirm or to triangulate the information you have gathered during the discussion. Once you have solved and you have understood the reality of your community you will be able to do or facilitators will be able to do an informed judgment of the community's resilience level by each of the 30 resilience components on screen you are seeing component one which is participatory community risk assessment so each of the 30 components of resilience contains five potential disaster resilience level one which means weak resilience and is worth one point and it's the red square in the image and then five which means the strongest resilience level and it's worth five points the technical sheet offer you two types of resilience level the standard one which is the colored one and at the right hand you will have a detailed description of what means to be in a level one level two level three four or five by each of the 30 components so once you have done so the sum of all the evaluated components is the total score of the community's disaster resilience so it is a holistic snapshot like a photograph of the community disaster resilience status at the moment of the assessment so the RG2 kit offers this scale of general level of resilience so if we got 54 as you can see on screen it means we are in a low resilience level which means that the community have shown some awareness and motivation some actions but these sections are piecemeal and short-term if you are using a digital data gathering platform like ComCare the results will appear automatically on your device screen and these will go then it's exported onto an offline this will go to the ComCare database and then you will be able to export this into an offline excel sheet for further analysis or to connect these database with Power BI dashboards which are available for viewing in the resilience nexus website in the case of goal because we are using this platform so what's all the fuss with the resilience nexus website that I've been using so much well this is a website created by goal in 2018 and apart from sharing information and news and so on it is designed basically to gather and display the assessments results applied around the world by any organization it's not just for goal so it's open for everyone so as you can see there we have like a geo-referenced assessments that you can see on the website and what's the results among the different countries that have been uploading data and the main and the core graphic of the ARP it's the spider graph that you can see on screen so let's see now a case study of this application so the ARP toolkit has been applied in a goals urban resilience program named Barrio Resiliente in Tegucial Pajandras and the ARP was applied as part of the baseline that took place in 2013 as you can see on screen and also as part of the end line that took place on 2018 so as you can see on the spider graph there is there some components increase or the majority of them increase not only because of the program intervention but also due to other governments initiatives that took place at the same moment but other components decrease and these are for example capacities in preparedness and response on early recovery health services and emergencies and community decision making the first one and the third one which are about capacities in preparedness and response and community decision making decrease because of internal leadership conflicts within these neighborhoods in Tegucial Pajandras and the second one health services and emergencies decrease because as a result of school deterioration due to a geological fault in these communities so based on this we learn first that resilience is very dynamic in time due to lots of elements that we cannot control of course we learn that and also we learn based on these elements our scores decrease our components that decrease that we needed to incorporate in our programming conflict resolution activities for example to help communities to drive despite these conflicts in terms of leadership and so on and then we understood that we needed to incorporate a system approach within our programings that we needed to adopt this approach to bring together all the permanent actors within the key systems that we identify in these neighborhoods and this was social housing and drainage systems so we learned that and based on that we rebuilt, we redesigned the program which is now taking place the second phase of this program not only Tegucial Pajandras but also in Colombia so that was a quick review now and to conclude sorry, we also have learned that not only the Brazilian it's a very dynamic process it takes place, it's moving in a positive way or negative way it can change obviously if shock cures and so on but we also learned that the Architucid was useful that it was adaptable to different contexts or to measure capacities and obviously that we will be able to see changes if communities if capacities of communities change but also if capacities or contexts at higher levels were changing like systems level or the context were changing so we needed to be taking a look at this to monitor what was happening in our neighborhoods ok, so to conclude, we will do two short exercises, really short exercises to see to explore and to dig in and how this works so don't feel afraid, so first according to the resilience level description on the components let me, I don't know how I can use here so, hold on ok, so based on this component that we have on screen I'm highlighting here how would you score the resilience level of the community where you live right now so, read the levels can you launch the ball for me Sushila the first one ok, so according to those levels according to your, sorry your community where you live how would you score the resilience level of the community where you live right now a few more seconds so the RT offers you two different ways the standard resilience levels which are colored on screen and a detailed one so the poll has a combination of two because we cannot put so many words ok, I'm going to close the voting in few seconds 15 seconds I close it ok so I guess you can see I'm going to share results on screen I guess you can see them yeah, so level 1 7% level 2 14% level 3 medium level which is 66% level 4 7% and level 5 7% ok, so great now we will move to the second exercise hold on hold on, I cannot hold on ok, let's move to the second exercise so considering the scores you get to your community in terms of community decision making based on your score before and according to the detailed description of this component in this technical sheet what actions would you promote to strengthen the resilience of your community so you can either write in the chat or yeah, we don't have another poll right, Susheela, I forgot it no, you can write it we have the gamble ok, thank you please can you help me with that ok, so think about it based on the score you gave please let us know what actions would you do I'm going to paste this in the chat, I guess I can what actions would you do to increase your community's resilience Susheela, can you go for a second to my slide or I can share it so they can see the technical sheet I'll do it, Susheela one second I can share that ok there you go taking into consideration the detailed description of the levels which actions would you do to increase community's resilience great, now we can see some answers increased capacity information sharing great community design of DRM plan and make visible funded and report and regularly do long-term for casting, develop and communicate strategic plan develop measurements to assess processes improve the economic situation of communities to start with the basic creating awareness, we assume people understand what risks they face but how can we measure this understanding dialogue with governments, stakeholders and other increased accountability of course increased early warning systems and communication increased participation and listen to citizens make directory for representatives and ongoing programs promoting climate resilience for now I guess there are a lot of answers so the point would be in terms of community decision making specifically what initiatives or actions we should be doing so lots of them were quite aligned and others were more broad which is perfect but the point would be that you can use a technical sheet to take ideas of what actions specifically can be done to increase that component which was community decision making so thank you so much if you have questions or if you want more information do please approach me through Zoom or email these are my contacts and let me know if you're interested to be trained on the Archi Toolkit or other approaches of Goal just approach me we have training starting next week and online training starting next week so do please approach me if you need something else or if you have any questions so now I'm going to hand over to Shiral, thank you very much okay thank you Gabriela for the wonderful presentation of our the toolkit good evening everyone I'm Shiral from Morsikur Nepal I will be presenting the DRM toolkit which Morsikur has designed and implemented in three different countries Nepal, Indonesia and Timor-Leste next so before entering to the slides and content of today's training session I want to break the ice and want to discuss outside of the resilience as we are aware in this current COVID situation we have been through the lockdown in many parts of the world and most of us are staying at home working from home so in this situation you need to do all the basic household works by yourself right? I think so okay next so let's discuss on the skills that is needed in our daily life we want to use mentee your experience while staying at home the question is already displayed on the screen please go to and enter the passcode can somebody drop the link on the chat box please yes cooking wow meditation childcare I think I guess yeah enjoy in your daily work and those are the skills which are already collected here some more skills okay thank you for your ideas which are already listed over here so next slide so let's come back to the topic again on resilience what we have told you about community level resilience toolkit okay so what is DRM toolkit? like it reads it is a tool for measuring disaster readiness of communities so why do we use this toolkit? what is the use of it? we recommend to use this tool annually to find the current status of the communities disaster ready these communities are which will also support in program decision making and so it will be easy to plan next steps ensuring these communities are disaster ready and planning for exit with sustainability so that we experienced so as mentioned earlier that this is the standard resilience measurement toolkit which is based on the community based disaster risk management framework which we say CBDRM framework too as you see on the left side CBDRM framework has outline 9 minimum characteristics which are especially focused on disaster risk reduction work but through merciful practical experience we realize that this is not enough yeah so we created disaster risk reduction with livelihood incentives which is displayed on the right side of the screen and we say nexus approach in our project yeah the combination of both we say nexus approach so the learning of nexus approach has shown the better outcomes in community level so taking this learning and this experience it has been prepared 10 characteristics of resilient community yeah those 10 characteristics are displayed on the screen if you look at one by one I am not going one by one to all so one of them you can see is multi hazard assessment this should be done in community and another highlights that should be followed and individuals should have the access to this information for this we applied a participatory disaster risk assessment another characteristics functional preparedness and response mechanism should be in place in our working area we focus three different tax forces and rescue first aid and early warning we also promote emergency fund management in community for its functionality for better response during disaster so for our resilient community we realize that the need for continuation and replication of the activity for disaster readiness thus we also have one characteristic focusing mainly on replication and learning you can see on the screen yes next okay in the 10 characteristics we have designed 65 sets of guiding questions during designing the questions we have considered multiple levels multiple lengths to get more details just like you can see on the left side community context and enabling context some characteristics depend on the community themselves their self initiation and action in the community especially but for some characteristics support is needed by enabling environment mostly the supporting agencies like local government so we use the lens of community context and enabling context likewise during designing the guiding questions the three phases which are displayed on the right side three phases of disaster management cycle just like before disaster or preparedness phase during disaster response phase and after disaster recovery phase was also considered to get insights likewise the spectrum of progression was also considered while designing the questionnaire the spectrum helps breaking certain characteristics or capacity into multiple pieces to understand progress or change then simply whether community has certain characteristics or does not have the progression or change starts with awareness if you look at that ladder look at the steps it starts from awareness after awareness they should have access so that they trust the mechanism which will need to adoption and use of the same this will enhance the confidence of the community thus leading to community and replication of the action just for example I am giving an example of early warning system it is not only about they get early warning message or not we are also exploring do the community have awareness of early warning system do they have access to this information do they trust the system are they using and adopting it are they confident about the system and its use for them if only all these is achieved we can see the continuity and replication of it which has been shown on the steps next why are we using a multiple lens to designing the questionnaire and analyzing the data why as you know there are underlying causes and hidden gaps in the community the multiple lens will help us to identify and pull out the gaps and challenges which are inside the community many of the changes will only come in the long run and there might be very small changes which can only be observed with these detailed lens analysis and sometimes if small changes are celebrated people will be motivated to add actions for stepping ahead that is our experience during implementing this tool next yes during analyzing the data and the scoring mechanism used in our tool is a color band which you can see on the screen we use red yellow and green for easy on standing in community level the red is for low yellow for medium and green for high and the green is also considered on the path to resilience yes next yes we analyze the data and now is it the end no is it complete no what next then yes next slide what we did after this before that let's do another exercise so let's self evaluate your skill on mentee again with the three color as low, medium and high please go to mentee.com and enter the password so if you look at the question the cooking you have to evaluate yourself on the cooking kitchen work especially where you are please rate yourself yes we can see the results red color is in low so most of the participants are in medium level in cooking it looks so and nearly now yellow goes up yes I think you are still voting so I think this is the final score final level where we are the result shows that most of us are in medium level for cooking skill so now you can see here if you look at the results that where you are and how much you need to improve in your life skill of cooking that's what we did with DRM toolkit score 2 in the communities so we use the same scoring exercise for the communities with those colors yes in summary this is the step what we did in the community from self assessment to self planning for the assessment done by the community the results were analyzed and we go back again to the community and ask them for self evaluation using the color code then the result from the assessment and the self evaluation was cross matched yeah to find out the gaps and challenges this will trigger the discussion and community will realize where they are which characteristics they are struggling which area they are working very well and should be sustained through that to improve the well being they will start their self planning this will help the community to understand their own situation and design relevant appropriate and achievable actions next yes with this I complete my session if you have any questions or queries please drop it on chat box and in Morsi core we believe that resilience is a pathway and not the info thank you everyone and over to you Chet sir okay thank you for your presentation so we have received some questions in chat box there were two questions I think both of them has been answered in chat box but we can take some more questions if any of the participant have regarding the presentation on tool from Morsi core yeah can you chat function or raise your hand don't be shy yeah I saw Adele raise your hand go ahead Adele thank you very much for the presentation I was wondering if you look at the different tools because you both presented them what kind of overlap do you see between the tools and what do you think you can learn from each other based upon these different tools thank you great question would you like to go first or Adele you please start okay well we have seen that first the DRM toolkit which itself assesses or has instruments or tools to measure like the institutional context and to gather specific elements or livelihoods right Shilal if I'm not lying if I have learned from you that's a key point which is a really good point so for example myself fast goal I'll be using the rg2 kit because I'm aware of it I'll be using these other elements from the DRM for example because are not implicit are not part of the rg2 kit so I could begin more in those elements by using the DRM but people from Mercy Corps I will say if I were you Shilal for example they could take a look at the rg2 kit for example and take a look to other elements that they might be missing that might be not precisely included elements that they are measuring and just incorporate few questions maybe to assess those elements so I guess there is a lot of elements that are common between the tools but one key elements are the contextual and the livelihoods and tools that they use and also what would be for example what is the purpose of measuring resilience it's trying for example I'm thinking of a local government and they want to measure their progress in terms of the Sindai framework or something like that they might say okay so this will help us to understand what's the resilience level by each of the Sindai framework priorities area so if that's their purpose they might go for the rg2 kit for example so Shilal cannot do that that's my learning with you Gabriella I think that sir do you want to add more not from my side okay there's a question in the chat right now Hayon sorry if I'm not saying her I'm spelling the name correctly and says how often should the assessment be repeated and can the communities apply the tool by themselves after the first application great question so for the rg2 kit how often we in our experience we have I would say not least than six months because even if it seems it's not a lot of work it is because it's qualitative information and focus group discussion so it takes a little bit of time so in my experience I would suggest not less than six months however we have been through an experience where communities were hit by a shock and so we were asked by the donor we would like to understand what's their resilience level now so we measure it and as it was an emergency response we agreed to measure resilience three months later after they received the emergency response so we did that and we understood that resilience is quite dynamic so we saw some changes positive and negative changes mainly in terms of social cohesion and social components of resilience I would say it will depend on the moment where you are measuring it but if it's not after a crisis I would say no less than six months could be exhausting but in the case study I showed you before we did it on an annual basis and it worked really good so that was a good experience too Shilan for the DRM and if it can be used for communities we haven't tested that yet we made a try years ago and I know that community was able but we haven't spread this practice unfortunately but it's something that we have fun to do trying to build a short manual to explain these two communities that's the plan Thanks we have given some information about the contact person please feel free to reach out to individuals from this organization if you want to learn more about the tools as well so we are now moving into a breakout session the next slide so we are dividing all the participants into three groups so we have one household group another community group and another system or institution so in your group what are the key factors to be considered when you are making decisions about choosing a tool or upwards for resilience measurement and also just a reminder just to keep the discussion more focused and not to get diverted you will be only discussing about the factor to be considered related to your group for example if you are in a household group your discussion should focus on the factor to be considered while selecting while selecting household-labeled resilience measurement so we are moving people into a group once you are in the group please discuss and select a speaker who will summarize the key points from the discussion to a bigger group in the main room and we have also some people who will be moderating this group so for household group aspecta for community we have Srila and for system and institution we have Gabriella so Srila how we are now can you see the rooms I have opened the room can you see the rooms can someone from the participants because I can see them yeah I can see the room some people have already joined room 1, 2 and 3 okay the others can you please join the room there are still 25 people over here too you have to select your room by yourself so please do that I hope everyone is back to main room now as I requested before I hope you have assigned the speaker for each group to share the key points to the wider group so let's start from household room anyone assigned as a speaker from household room I will be leading from the household group okay go ahead Nabi with the household level of resiliency our team of 11 discussed a lot of household resiliency items so the team agreed on pointing out on the well-being of the household and sensitivity of exposure of households household items that are necessary at household level and identification of the household level of hazards and community profile identification as well as capacity of the household access to the services and financial management these were the steps discussed among our team regarding the identification of the level of resiliency measurement at the household level so in addition to the identification of the tools some of the tools were discussed among the participants of our group such as come care as well as Kobo so we did not came up with like what are the benefits or the merits of using these tools so we just pointed out which tools can be used for the capturing of the information at the household level along with this some of the other modalities of the information collection with the questionnaires focus group discussion among the group of the people in that community along with key informant interview was also noted out by the participants thank you thank you again I think it's really important when we decide about the tools then what we are going to measure about the well-being what are the type of well-being outcomes to expect to see in that community how does the vulnerability profile look looks into that community what are the capacities that we are aiming to build in that those communities so understanding this helps to really make a decision about what tools what is the appropriate type of tools that we can deploy for household level resilience measurement thank you nothing so for second group from the community room who wants to go who want to sign as a speaker yes sir it's going to be me I'm Dinitma from Mexico now so our community actually didn't follow the questions we were more focused on sharing our experiences on using community based resilience measurement approaches and it was interesting to see a very variety of experiences and approach being used one of the participants shared about the ecosystem based approach of implementation where they were looking at the communities and trying to ensure that all of the communities had common understanding of the definitions trying to assess adaptive capacity which was also reflected by one of the participants from Nepal who shared his experience working with on coolant project and looking at the adaptive, adaptive, anticipatory capacities and also looking at the access to resources, access to systems and even people health status were explored another interesting part was study of not only the capacities but also the perception like how people were perceiving it so the resilience or their improvement so that risks perception as well so that was an interesting perspective someone from one of the participants also shared about the psychological part of study like the approach that was an interesting part for us somebody just added need and resource assessment as well so to summarize I would say we were looking at these kind of things thank you I think it highlights something interesting was ecosystem based approach when we were talking about the resilience then defining what the system is and depending on how you define your system you can choose your tools also so there are like ecosystem best tools to major the resilience of the ecosystem that could be interesting to learn as well thank you so we have a last group from system and institutions Gabriela how are you going or anyone Ido and the rest will support her she will share what we have discussed we didn't follow exactly the course system now we first had a discussion surrounding what does it mean what kind of system are we looking at what does the system mean the differences between different kind of systems for example systems your market systems your governance system etc so how do you look at the different systems and then a really great point was raised by Einke who mentioned that it would also be very important to see how the different systems relate to each other and what it would be possible to have multi-shock scenario and how to measure that and Gabriela shared some experiences related to the resilience for social systems approach that she also shared in the chat and I think she's better place than I am to explain about that and please add to me my fellow participants in the breakout group if I missed anything there were the conclusion was that there were a lot of questions raised but that we didn't have that many answers yet and that the time was kind of short at least that's how I proceeded and I'm curious to hear more about the resilience for social systems approach of Goal Yes my experience is based on that tool developed by Goal so I have shared the link in the chat just in case because here is no time for explanations about that or more explanation but another key elements that we mentioned in the team that I want to raise again was before we start discussing about resilience at systems level we need to be clear what resilience means to us or to our context and how do we understand or define systems too just to make sure that we are in the right pathway of selecting a tool or approach to understanding all of this and the importance of understanding and measuring right of understanding the interdependency or interrelation between the different systems within a system right and Stefan or Ayinka can correct me but that was a key elements that we raised in the group Yeah Thanks, thanks very much Yeah I wish it would be very interesting discussion I wish we had more time to talk about the resilience and resilience measurement that we are almost towards the end of the session so I'm wrapping up the session so thanks everyone for your participation it was a great learning experience from everyone as I really do you were mentioning resilience could mean anything so so how we we should define what resilience mean for us first we can apply a resilience framework as we were talking before about there are in Golan Mercy Corps we use this five different resilience questions that help us to define those boundary and define what really resilience mean for us and then after that we can think about how we measure that resilience and just to want to go through quickly about those five questions for whom about our target groups of what type of the system we are these people are dependent on to what type of different shock and stresses through what what are the capacities that the people need and to what end which was about the well-being what do we want to achieve at the end after building those capacity and and also we have discussed a lot about the system and resilience of course I think one one of the distinctive thing of resilience approach is it requires a system approach looking at a different level not working only at a one level or community level is not enough we have to look at the multiple level so if we are working at the multi multiple level then how do we major those major resilience at the multiple level as well and resilience is also not a cross cutting issue or thing it's it is an overarching framework that guides the design and implementation and our measurement approach and also as the resilience system approach its measurement has to be as I said before it has to be done at a different level and maybe there we have to move away from like a traditional baseline and of course but there are a lot of factors that could determine which tools are upwards or what at what level we should be focusing in our measurement and a program might be just focusing at the community or a household level then maybe we can think of simply find the resilience measurement so we only focus at the household or community level but if the program is more working at broader systems then more complex more comprehensive tools might be required sometimes it also depends on the donor requirement whether it's required by donor or is that something that we wanted to internally for our program so that we can adaptively manage our programs the resilience measurement sometimes can be very complicated and expensive too so it also depends on what type of technical expertise financial resources that we have in our program as we have seen both Golan and Mercy Corps has applied some same frameworks and principle the purpose of the tools and the type of decisions what we want to make were a bit different but like overarching framework were the same the purpose of both tools was to understand where communities stand at a point of time and what initiatives is required so that they can move up in this spectrum both ARC-D Toolkit and DRM Toolkit they applied the resilience as a framework but ARC-D Toolkit it provides a more holistic snapshot of a community disaster resilience status in two parts part A assessing the general context of the community and the part B assess 30 resilience component to a chosen risk scenario through a consensus based focus group discussion and at the end of the assessment an indicative resilience score was assigned similarly in DRM Toolkit that's represented it was based on 10 different community disaster ready elements that includes even the livelihood so and it it focuses on the process of self-assessment, self-realization and self-planning to upgrade the outcome in the community and also at the institution level so I think with that I would like to thank everyone for joining this session the resilience thinking is evolving we are trying everyone is trying to simplify so as the measurement approach as well and both of these organizations they have invested more than 15 years to develop this type of tools and simplify those tools I hope this session was very useful for you to understand resilience and how we major it and as I said before if you want to know more about this tool please feel free to connect with us after the session as well thanks Gabriella and Srila for your presentation and everyone for your time, thank you thanks to all of you, thank you so much
