In June 2016, with the culmination of 18 months work by the the team from IIER, Imperial College, Future Earth Ltd and the Trust, we visited Accra to debut the WASH sector prototype of our modelling app at the Accra International Conference Centre, 22nd June 2016.
resilience.io is an open-source, collaborative
human, ecological, economic, resource systems, modelling platform to enable “public good”
we also showed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGyCyxyatAQ

“A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships
between central and local governments, the private sector, academia
and civil society which put people and planet at the centre”

programmes
• To strengthen leadership and capacity at all levels of
the decentralised government machinery
• Enhance civil society participation
• Promote a sustainable, spatially integrated and orderly
development of human settlements to support socio-
economic development
• Regularly improve demographic data base on
population and development

Population growth in Ghana cities 2014 14.6 million 2030 22.1million
Investment in infrastructure and human settlements in cities
Investment in cities to meet SDGs Infrastructure 3.8% GDP
43% Energy 29%Transport 21% Water, sanitation, flood 7% Communications
Affordable housing 2.2% GDP
Total 6.0% GDP
With the right urban development policies it is estimated that 30%
of this finance could come from Green Bonds and 20% from
private sector including Pension Funds.
Also use of GCF funding, share of which for Ghana at 0.2% GDP
per year is $78m per year, which could be drawn in now.

17. Urban development policy
1. Use a participatory, enabling systems tool, like resilience.io
that will build capacity to plan land use, manage revenues
and bring forward bankable projects with risk assessments
at all scales.
2. Improve municipal finance, including improved revenues, to
improve local currency credit ratings
3. Negotiate guarantees from national and international
sources like GCF to underpin green and municipal bonds and
to build climate finance funds
4. Create pooled finance ‘revolving’ Urban Development Funds
UDIF to reduce transaction costs by sharing
5. Create scaling funds RIIF to grant fund new cities to set up
operating enabling systems, supported by urban knowledge
networks like UCLG, ICLEI, C40, Cities Alliance, 100 Res Cities

Inclusive Growth
• Carry out ambitious research agenda
• Make significant economic and societal impact
• Add value by increasing infrastructure, building capacity,
encouraging interdisciplinary working in social science and
beyond
• Enable research collaboration in the UK and across Sub Saharan
Africa
Focus Areas:
• Migration, mobility and development
• Dynamics of inequalities
• Innovation and inclusive economic growth
• Shocks, security, risks and resilience

anything. You must get out of your house to learn”.
20. Ghana Partnership Platform for Philanthropy
• Strategic philanthropists “who seek greater impact by taking an approach that is guided by
particular values and aims, clear goals and key performance indicators, direct oversight and
governance, and sharing of skills, abilities, and experience, as opposed to monetary gift
giving” A ‘strategic philanthropy fund’ SPF could build early stage investment in CHEER
tools, demonstrator RIIF’s and UDIF’s.
• Venture philanthropists, who seek social impact and financial return, are ideally suited to
invest in national revolving RIIF funds, to provide support for a number of years, typically
10, to scale up of the CHEER approach across each country. Return 2% above Libor.
• Social Impact Investment foundations can use the CHEER platform and be part of UDIF
funds to support improved social conditions in urban areas like inclusion and poverty
reduction, with evidence of impact coming from the regional CHEER model and monitored
over time.

● Model development
● Set of specifications – http://resilience.io
● 50 Process blocks developed that describe
input output, energy, material and labour
● Computer modules built and tested
● ABM & RTN
● Three Use cases developed with the GTG
to demonstrate functionality and benefits
● Visualisations for decision support and
basic user interface
● Package
● Data
● 200 plus data sets collected that describe
WASH in GAMA as well as socio-economic,
GIS, process and technology.
27. Debut activities
MLGRD - Good tool in the development
of the urban areas, we need such a
model.
UoG - resilience.io prototype gives a
faster and more accurate solutions for
development (urban) planning
AMA - Is important to help in decision
making and inform policy
Training - The model is very good, and
can help us to improve and prioritise
quality decisions in my Assembly
