Building Resilience of the Urban Poor in Indonesia

Organisation:
Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Climate and disaster risk poses a serious threat to the socioeconomic development of Indonesia, particularly in the sectors of agriculture, water, marine and coastal, and health. 

This report identifies climate resilience solutions for urban poor in Indonesia and their enabling factors, building on national policies and programmes and taking into account the priority sectors for climate-resilient development. 

The study proposes five key pro-poor policy areas – social protection, public health system, livelihoods, housing and community infrastructure – to develop a framework for advancing resilience among the urban poor. Long-term shifts will require a combination of interventions that collective promote coping, incremental and transformation strategies.
