September 2022 – January 2025

This project aims to enhance the resilience of health infrastructure in conflict-affected areas by moving beyond traditional risk analysis. The focus is on maintaining performance and improving recovery after disruptions. The project will operationalize resilience at the Rafik Hariri University Hospital in Beirut by integrating its various system components—building services, structures, and socio-technical aspects. A rapid resilience assessment will measure adaptive capacity, followed by system response modeling using agent-based approaches. Finally, a resilience monitoring framework will be developed, which can be adapted for broader use across ICRC-managed facilities, facilitating better communication and decision-making among stakeholders.
