For the Identification, Formulation, Implementation and
Evaluation of Risk Reduction Projects in Urban Areas
Checklist

Checklist for the identification and implementation of risk reduction projects in urban areas
International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
What do you have in your hands?
This document is a collection of the ideas, efforts and experiences of people from different organisations - from Mexico
to Colombia - that have invested time and resources to build guidelines to address risk in urban areas.
This document can be applied to urban zones, peri-urban zones, neighbourhoods, settlements, cities, metropolises
and megacities. You are able to choose the study’s territorial unit, contextualising the analysis with each of these
environment’s particularities.
It is also important to mention that it does not mater in which stage of a project you are: Whether you are in the idea,
execution or closing stage, this document will provide you with practical, useful and valid considerations to check where
you are, how you are doing and what your next steps should be.
What can it be used for and what can it not be used for?
While this list is not exhaustive, as well as being subject to modification, it was created to provide essential considerations
on the implementation of disaster risk reduction projects in urban settings.
During a project’s distinct phases, the references being taken into consideration should be reviewed so that they are
properly integrated into your analysis and/or operation. Project execution is improved by integrating as many key
elements as possible, without passing over relevant institutions, people, processes, leaders, organisations, objections
or attention.
Do not expect this document to provide you with tools to perform an interview or diagnosis, nor with a study format or
a list of materials to equip a population. You probably already have enough on these topics, though this document does
suggest whom you should interview, what process you should estimate and with which methodology you could attain it.
How is it structured?
It is separated in five large sections and each one of these sections corresponds to a phase that you will undergo while
executing a project.

Inturn,thesesectionsarebrokenintothreeunitsofreference,whichguideyouranalysisduringeachoftheaforementioned
sections and provide you with a list of parts that facilitate the document’s application.
Activity Aspects for
verification
Methodology
Now we go by part and get into the subject matter...
I. Strategic Analysis:
The strategic analysis is useful for defining the territorial unit where you can work, as well as for suggesting what to
consider in order to understand and to learn from that area’s social dynamics and legalities.
Four Activities are proposed to gather information on the potential unit of interest:
You will find Aspects for Verification, for each of these four activities, which list the guidelines to consider in order to
integrate all relevant elements of analysis. Also, they are accompanied by a proposed Methodology for the survey.
Define the type and characteristics.
Analyse the economic and cultural situation.
Study the legal aspects and political dimension.
Analyse the (potential) area to intervene.
II. Diagnosis and Formulation
Once you have chosen the area of analysis, are familiar with it, understand it and have learned from its dynamics, you
are ready to prepare the project proposal.
4
Checklist for the identification and implementation of risk reduction projects in urban areas
International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Analyse the determining factors for intervention.
Establish the project’s relevance.
Revise some complementary elements for the formulation of the proposal.
Elements for first approach to the area.
Definition of the territorial sectors: neighbourhood, district, etc.
Establishment of partnerships and coordination.
Preparation of project document.
Furthermore, the Aspects for Verification are prepared for these eight activities so that you can check them while the
activity develops, following its respective methodological approach.
III. Execution
For the implementation, the document will allow you to continue with your work, slightly expanding your “field of vision”
for an execution with some additional elements and methodology, which make allow you to be more effective in the
urban environment while carrying out your operation.
For this case, this section provides you with three specific activities for execution:
Information, Education, Communication and Visibility Processes.
Tracking and monitoring the implementation.
Safety and security for the personnel working on the project.
IV. Evaluation and Learning
As part of accountability, which is part of the whole process, this section suggests documenting what you did, how you
did it and with whom, as well as with whom you will share the valuable lessons learned that you undoubtedly obtained.
This section provides eight activities: To help you
5
Checklist for the identification and implementation of risk reduction projects in urban areas
International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Internal evaluation of the process and execution.
External evaluation.
Systematisation of lessons learned and best practices.
Disclosure and socialisation of the processes performed and products obtained
V. Exit Strategy or Sustainability
Like all processes, the question of “What happens next?” is a proposal that involves planners, executors, authorities,
beneficiaries, parts and counterparts. This section suggests that you reflect on what you are doing, what you have done
and what you could consider with the process’ key players.
More specifically, it provides you with an activity, which its respective aspects for verification, to address the issue of
sustainability and an exit strategy before the end of the intervention. Also, it mentions some proven methodologies in
different contexts.
Monitoring of actions in the field during execution.
With this, we invite you to look at the checklist for identification, formulation, execution and evaluation of risk reduction
projects in urban environments.
This section invites you to verify various aspects of four specific activities:

This document is a collection of the ideas, efforts and experiences of people from different organisations - from Mexico to Colombia - that have invested time and resources to build guidelines to address risk in urban areas. This document can be applied to urban zones, peri-urban zones, neighbourhoods, settlements, cities, metropolises and megacities. You are able to choose the study’s territorial unit, contextualising the analysis with each of these environment’s particularities. It is also important to mention that it does not mater in which stage of a project you are: Whether you are in the idea, execution or closing stage, this document will provide you with practical, useful and valid considerations to check where you are, how you are doing and what your next steps should be. What can it be used for and what can it not be used for? While this list is not exhaustive, as well as being subject to modification, it was created to provide essential considerations on the implementation of disaster risk reduction projects in urban settings. During a project’s distinct phases, the references being taken into consideration should be reviewed so that they are properly integrated into your analysis and/or operation. Project execution is improved by integrating as many key elements as possible, without passing over relevant institutions, people, processes, leaders, organisations, objections or attention. Do not expect this document to provide you with tools to perform an interview or diagnosis, nor with a study format or a list of materials to equip a population. You probably already have enough on these topics, though this document does suggest whom you should interview, what process you should estimate and with which methodology you could attain it. How is it structured? It is separated in five large sections and each one of these sections corresponds to a phase that you will undergo while executing a project. Strategic Analysis Diagnosis and Formulation Execution Evaluation and Learning Exit Strategy or Sustainability

Activity Aspects for verification Methodology Now we go by part and get into the subject matter... I. Strategic Analysis: The strategic analysis is useful for defining the territorial unit where you can work, as well as for suggesting what to consider in order to understand and to learn from that area’s social dynamics and legalities. Four Activities are proposed to gather information on the potential unit of interest: You will find Aspects for Verification, for each of these four activities, which list the guidelines to consider in order to integrate all relevant elements of analysis. Also, they are accompanied by a proposed Methodology for the survey. Define the type and characteristics. Analyse the economic and cultural situation. Study the legal aspects and political dimension. Analyse the (potential) area to intervene. II. Diagnosis and Formulation Once you have chosen the area of analysis, are familiar with it, understand it and have learned from its dynamics, you are ready to prepare the project proposal.
  • 4. 4 Checklist for the identification and implementation of risk reduction projects in urban areas International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Analyse the determining factors for intervention. Establish the project’s relevance. Revise some complementary elements for the formulation of the proposal. Elements for first approach to the area. Definition of the territorial sectors: neighbourhood, district, etc. Establishment of partnerships and coordination. Preparation of project document. Furthermore, the Aspects for Verification are prepared for these eight activities so that you can check them while the activity develops, following its respective methodological approach. III. Execution For the implementation, the document will allow you to continue with your work, slightly expanding your “field of vision” for an execution with some additional elements and methodology, which make allow you to be more effective in the urban environment while carrying out your operation. For this case, this section provides you with three specific activities for execution: Information, Education, Communication and Visibility Processes. Tracking and monitoring the implementation. Safety and security for the personnel working on the project. IV. Evaluation and Learning As part of accountability, which is part of the whole process, this section suggests documenting what you did, how you did it and with whom, as well as with whom you will share the valuable lessons learned that you undoubtedly obtained. This section provides eight activities: To help you

External evaluation. Systematisation of lessons learned and best practices. Disclosure and socialisation of the processes performed and products obtained V. Exit Strategy or Sustainability Like all processes, the question of “What happens next?” is a proposal that involves planners, executors, authorities, beneficiaries, parts and counterparts. This section suggests that you reflect on what you are doing, what you have done and what you could consider with the process’ key players. More specifically, it provides you with an activity, which its respective aspects for verification, to address the issue of sustainability and an exit strategy before the end of the intervention. Also, it mentions some proven methodologies in different contexts. Monitoring of actions in the field during execution. With this, we invite you to look at the checklist for identification, formulation, execution and evaluation of risk reduction projects in urban environments. This section invites you to verify various aspects of four specific activities:
