What is resilience.io ?

4. National, city-region scale integrated systems platform
1) Build Open-source model
Population/processes
2) Develop scenarios
Technology/policy
3) Collaborate on solutions
4) Generate results

5. 5
Practical value
• Social and Physical
• Data driven
• Evidence for investment
• Performance based
procurement
• Metrics for SDG delivery

6. 6
GAMA – Water and Sanitation
Prototype debut - Ghana

7. WASH prototype
● 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
● Data
● 200 plus data sets collected
that describe WASH in GAMA
as well as socio-economic, GIS,
process and technology.

GAMA Stakeholders
MLGRD “helps to consider the
complexities and difficulties
faced in planning and
implementation of WASH
sector”
Private Sector “Can use
resilience.io to better evaluate
resilient initiatives and work
in PPP to deliver new
infrastructure around GAMA”

9. Very well received..
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
• 3 results workshops including live model runs
– 97% think the resilience.io prototype is functional
– 71% think resilience.io is suitable to inform policy/investment decision making (high degree)
• Training and installation session
– 90% like to be involved in further development & 100% like to use as part of their role/institution
• High level debut event
– It’s a great thing for GAMA, a great thing for Ghana, and I believe it will be a great thing for
Africa Robert Ansah - AMA
