Codes, Standards, and Certifications: Resilient

Codes, Standards, and Certifications: Resilient

Partenaire de mise en œuvre: Build Change

Project name:Codes, Standards, and Certifications: Resilient Infrastructure Standards

Building codes and infrastructure standards help nations translate their vision into actionable requirements, ensuring uniform resilience across infrastructure assets. Their widespread application enables scalable transformation in building practices.

CDRI champions the creation of international resilient infrastructure standards, tailored for hazard-prone and resource-constrained regions.

Through its critical infrastructure sector work, especially in the power and telecom sectors, CDRI provides strategic recommendations for revising national and international standards, reinforcing resilience and long-term sustainability in infrastructure development.

Impact

1

Small and resource-constrained countries can access international and regional resilience-focused codes and standards for free. Reference documents offer locally relevant guidelines, ensuring hazard-specific applicability, affordability, and enforcement capacity, strengthening infrastructure resilience in vulnerable regions.

2

Vulnerable countries have updated regulatory frameworks for infrastructure planning, design, and operation with targeted support, ensuring alignment with local risk profiles and market characteristics. Consensus among national stakeholders strengthens resilience and enhances long-term sustainability in infrastructure development.

3

Enforcement mechanisms and incentives enhance the application of resilient infrastructure standards in vulnerable countries. Strengthened academic and vocational training ensures capacity building, while national and local institutions maintain a sustainable permitting and inspection system for long-term resilience.
