2	Institutional resilience: Governance and institutions capacity	Institutional resilience refers to the governmental and non-governmental systems that structure the social, economic, and political interactions within a given context. Building institutional resilience entails strengthening the capacity of these systems to ensure the continued and transformative functioning of the urban system. It also involves promoting the sources of resilience, or "capacities," of all population sub-groups residing within the urban system.	Quality of public service delivery, effectiveness of local institutions, presence of legal and regulatory frameworks, conflict resolution mechanisms.	Effective governance structures are essential for urban resilience. These indicators assess the capacity of local institutions to support resilience efforts and provide essential services, ensuring that governance frameworks are responsive and inclusive.

9	Infrustracture Resilience: Infrastructure and basic services	Infrastructure resilience refers to the ability of physical structures (such as buildings and transportation systems) and core service facilities (e.g., shelters and health services) to withstand the effects of hazards in urban areas. Infrastructure is a key component of delivering systems and services to meet urban needs. Building infrastructure resilience entails enhancing the capability of independent urban infrastructure systems (e.g., water, energy, and transportation) to withstand external stresses without compromising the integrity of other infrastructure systems. Infrastructural resilience encompasses the physical structures and service facilities critical for urban needs. These include - Food, Water, Housing, Health, Education, Employment, Secure housing, land and property tenure	Quality and accessibility of healthcare, education, water supply, sanitation, transportation systems (Health, education, water, sanitation, energy, Food, Water, Housing, Health, Education, Employment, Secure housing, land and property tenure)	Robust infrastructure is key to resilience. These indicators measure the resilience of critical infrastructure systems to various shocks and stresses, ensuring that urban areas can maintain essential services during crises.	Indicator 2.1: % of urban areas with comprehensive and sustainable urban development plans that ensure long-term infrastructure and service provision. This indicator tracks the presence of long-term, sustainable urban development plans, which includes the infrastructure systems to ensure basic services over time	UN Habitat
10					Indicator 2.2: % of municipalities or urban areas with infrastructure plans that integrate climate resilience and sustainability considerations. This indicator focuses on whether local infrastructure planning includes resilience and sustainability aspects, aligning with the focus on integrating resilience into infrastructure systems' strategic plans	OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
11					Indicator 2.3: # of urban areas with infrastructure systems designed to operate under stressed conditions or increased demand during disasters. This indicator tracks whether infrastructure is designed with enough capacity to function under extreme conditions, akin to your indicator on spare capacity for infrastructure resilience during crises.	World Bank
12	Economic Resilience: Economic Stability and Market Access	Economic resilience refers to the diversity of the entire economic system within an urban area, such as the diversity in the sectors of employment, the number of businesses, and the capability of the economic system to continue operating despite the occurrence of adverse events. Economic resilience is a much more important resilience driver in urban areas. It helps individuals, households and communities improve their sources of resilience to prepare for and respond to natural hazards and other shocks, laying the foundation for increased self-reliance. Self-reliance is a key characteristic in fostering economic resilience in rural areas. In contrast, fostering economic resilience is more dependent upon the current political and socio-economic systems present within an urban area.	Market access, availability of credit and financial services, employment rates, economic diversification	Economic stability is crucial in urban areas where economic shocks can have severe impacts. These indicators assess the capacity of the local economy to provide stable livelihoods and access to financial resources, supporting long-term resilience.	Indicator 3.1: # of urban areas with policies ensuring equal access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and clean water for all citizens. This indicator tracks the existence of policies aimed at providing equitable access to essential services	UNDP (United Nations Development Programme)
13					Indicator 3.2: # urban areas with policies that promote access to digital financial services, particularly for underserved populations. This focuses on the presence of policies designed to increase access to digital financial services	World Bank
14					Indicator 3.3: # of cities using blended finance mechanisms to support infrastructure projects in urban and rural areas. This indicator tracks the use of blended finance tools to leverage both public and private investments in infrastructure.	OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
15					Indicator 3.4: # of urban areas with capital markets and insurance products available to mobilize finance for climate resilience and adaptation. This tracks the availability of capital and insurance markets focused on resilience and climate adaptation	UNEP FI (United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative)
16					Indicator 3.5: # of countries with national systems for collecting and disseminating labor market information, including vacancies and skill needs. This tracks systems that provide labor market data to help match skills with demand.	ILO (International Labour Organization)

18					Indicator 3.7: % of urban markets with basic infrastructure (e.g., water, sanitation, and electricity) that meets minimum standards. This indicator measures the adequacy of facilities in markets, ensuring they are functional and sustainable	UN Habitat
19					Indicator 3.8: # of financial institutions and services (banks, microfinance institutions, mobile money agents, etc.).
20					Indicator 3.9: Employment by sector as a percentage of total employment (agriculture, industry, services). This indicator tracks the share of employment across different sectors	ILO (International Labour Organization)
21	Social Resilience: Social Cohesion and Community Networks	Social resilience refers to the capacity for the social systems within an urban system to respond, cope and recover from external stressors. Somalia urban population depend more on the existing social, economic, and political system, such as access to water, security, and microfinance	Strength of social networks, participation in community activities, presence of informal support mechanisms.	Social cohesion enhances collective action and mutual support during crises. These indicators measure the strength of social ties and community engagement, which are critical for mobilizing resources and responses.
