UNDP: The Sahel Resilience Project  phase 2: DRR CC Adaptation for Resilience UNDP: The Sahel Resilience Project  phase 2: DRR CC Adaptation for Resilience Länderna i Sahel står inför multipla sammanlänkade chocker beroende på förändringar i klimatet som torka och översvämningar, markförstöring, matosäkerhet, ökad konfliktrisk och flyktingströmmar. Liksom i den första fasen syftar insatsen till att öka motståndskraften mot klimatchocker och kriser i Sahel (och Afrika) genom genomförandet av Sendai ramverket för katastrofriskreducering för stärkande av policies och den institutionella kapaciteten. Insatsen syftar till att nå resultat inom fem resultatmål: Ökad kapacitet i att följa upp genomförandet av Sendai Ramverket. och AUs program för genomförandet av Sendai ramverket genom datainsamlande, analys, rapporteringssystem
2) Ökad regional och multilands reglering, policy och budgetramverk, ramverk för att översätta katastrof- och klimatdata till risk informerad utvecklings planering och budgetarbete
3) Ökad regional återhämtningsförmåga och motståndskraft genom att bygga processer som  inriktas på underliggande katastrof- och klimatförändringsrisker och att återställa möjligheter till en hållbar utveckling för länderna i Sahel.
4) Öka den regionala kapaciteten för uban katastrofriskreducering i Västafrika
5)Förbättrade innovation och ökad kunskap om riskinformerad utveckling genom regional dialog  och Syd-syd utbyte. The seven Sahel countries (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal) are facing multiple interlinked shocks and stressors: climate induced factors as recurrent droughts and flooding, land degradation, high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, rising insecurity, unequal access to basic services, poorly integrated markets and displacement. As in its first phase the project aims to build increased resilience to climate induced shocks and crisis in the Sahel (and Africa) by enhancing the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) thus strengthen the policy and institutional capacities  at regional and national levels to better manage multidimensional risks through device mechanisms that anticipate and respond to the challenges the region faces.
The project aimed to achieve results by the five outputs:
1) Increased capacity on tracking and monitoring progress on Sendai
Framework and AU Program of Action implementation through enhanced
data collection, analysis and reporting system;
2) Strengthened regional and multicountry
regulatory, policy and
budgetary frameworks for translating disaster and climate data into risk
informed development planning and budgeting;
3) Enhanced regional recovery and resilience building processes that
address underlying disaster and climate change risks and restore
pathways to sustainable development in the Sahel Countries; 4) Enhanced
Regional Capacities for Urban Risk Management in West Africa; and
5) Enhanced innovations and knowledge on risk informed development
through Regional Dialogue and SouthSouth
exchange. The Sahel resilience project phase 1 and this phase 2 aims to build increased resilience to shocks and crisis in the Sahel (and Africa) by strengthen the policy and institutional capacities  at regional and national levels to better manage multidimensional risks through device mechanisms that anticipate and respond to the challenges the region faces by enhancing the implementation of the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction (SFDRR). The Project's expected outcome is that Regional institutions and national governments institutionalize and domesticate risk-informed development planning, programming, and investment for resilience building. This will integrate risk reduction in planning and investment decisions. This is done through the following results (outputs): 

Output 1: Increased capacity on tracking and monitoring progress on Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and AU Programme of Action implementation in the Sahel region through enhanced data collection, analysis, and reporting systems

Output 2: Strengthened regional and multi-country regulatory, policy, and budgetary frameworks for translating disaster and climate data into risk-informed development

Output 3: Enhanced regional recovery and resilience-building processes that address underlying disaster and climate change risks and restore pathways to sustainable development in the Sahel countries

Output 4: Enhanced regional capacities for urban risk management

Output 5: Enhanced innovations and knowledge on risk-informed development through Regional Dialogue and South-South exchange

(i) Disaggregated climate and disaster risk information must be collected, analyzed and utilized to inform the planning and investment decisions made by the national governments and the society;
(ii) A conducive policy environment must be in place to guide and enhance capacities of regional and national institutions in the Sahel to understand and translate disaster and climate risk information into decision making processes for development that leave no-one behind;
(iii) Sahel regional institutions, national governments and community members have systems and mechanisms in place to manage future recovery processes in a manner that is effective and promotes long-term resilience building; and
(iv) Urban areas, which are the powerhouse for economic development, have robust urban risk management systems to respond and adapt to the increasing climatic and disaster risks such that it offers itself as a sustainable engine of transformation.
