This course examines the key concepts of resilience, and presents an overarching resilience monitoring and evaluation framework to help task teams integrate key elements of resilience-building into their climate- and disaster-related projects and programs. The course is based on the recommendations and work conducted under the World Bank’s ‘Results Monitoring and Evaluation for Resilience-Building Operations’ or ‘ReM&E’ project. Other resources produced by the project can be found at the ReM&E knowledge portal .
This course covers the following topics:
- Topic 1: About the Course. Outlines course structure and sets out the learning objectives for the course.
- Topic 2: Framing and Operationalizing Resilience. Illustrates the significance of resilience in projects and programs. It provides basic concepts and principles of resilience-building (e.g., absorptive, adaptive and transformative capacities), highlights good practices that reflect these principles, and explains the importance of using resilience M&E to determine and evaluate the results of resilience-building projects and programs.
- Topic 3: The ReM&E Framework. Introduces the overarching resilience results framework (ReM&E framework), and explains how it can be used to integrate resilience principles into the design and M&E of projects and programs.
- Topic 4: Resilience Indicators. Reviews different qualities of resilience indicators that can be used to measure resilience-related results.
- Topic 5: Monitoring and Reporting of Resilience Results. Illustrates basic concepts of analyzing quantitative and qualitative data and interpreting it to attribute resilience results to the project/program. The lesson also offers guidelines for presenting results of monitoring resilience results to stakeholders.
- Topic 6: Evaluation of Resilience Results. Outlines a 5-step process for supporting project teams in better designing and delivering evaluations of climate and disaster resilience operations.
