Urban Resilience Sector Guidance: Governance

This document is a companion to the USAID Urban Resilience Technical Guidance, and aims to support USAID staff and implementing partners to develop activities that strengthen urban resilience in governance sector programming and to consider integrated programming that combines multiple sectors such as environment, private sector engagement, and health to connect governance work with other domains of urban resilience. This guidance includes:

• overview of challenges and opportunities when working on governance and urban resilience;
• descriptions of USAID’s urban resilience building blocks;
• key questions to apply an urban resilience lens;
• strategies to strengthen urban resilience and examples;
• funding;
• Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) approaches and illustrative performance indicators;
• key resources for additional support.
