Established in June 2017, the City Resilience Program (CRP) is an initiative funded by multiple donors, managed by the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and implemented by the World Bank, aimed at increasing financing for urban resilience. CRP’s vision is resilient cities with the capacity to plan for and mitigate adverse impacts of disasters and climate change, thus enabling them to save lives, reduce losses, and unlock economic and social potential. The aim of the program is to catalyze a shift toward longer term, more comprehensive multi-disciplinary packages of technical and financial services, building the pipeline for viable projects at the city level that, in turn, build resilience. This brief focuses on the CRP activities as of March 2022.
