Salvador in the 100RC Network

Salvador City Hall was selected in 2016 to be part of the
Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities Program (100RC).
Salvador’s application was based on an inclusive vision of reality
that seeks connectivity among public policies and a cross-
cutting quality in initiatives to face the city’s critical issues in the
long term. By understanding that the acute shocks in Salvador
result from chronic stresses that have lasted decades, the
proposal presented the city’s social-economic inequality as its
most critical issue.

The 100RC Process

Resilience planning aims to makes a city a better place in the
short and long term, in both good and difficult moments, and
benefits all citizens, especially poor and vulnerable people.

The 100RC Strategy Development Process is divided into three
phases.

• Phase 1 is based on the understanding of the city’s resilien-
ce issues. The result of this phase is a preliminary resilience
assessment, which is presented in the Preliminary Resilience
Assessment Report (PRA Report). This document points out
the discovery areas and cross-cutting themes that must be
explored on the next phase.

• Phase 2 focuses on the creation of a strategy. It defines key-
-opportunities and programs, as well as projects and policies
that been identified to ponder the city’s resilience issues.

• Phase 3 focuses on the implementation of initiatives previou-
sly identified in the Strategy, which will aim at building greater
resilience in systems and processes to ensure the city’s opera-
tion.
