Resilience Analysis for Project Design under the BMZ Transitional Development Assistance Programme for Mali and Niger

• *arche nova e.V.**, together with **Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB)**, is preparing a project under the BMZ Transitional Development Assistance (TDA) framework in the Gao region of Mali and the Tahoua region of Niger. Implementation of the envisaged action will take place in cooperation with local partner organisations.
• The BMZ TDA framework is designed to strengthen the resilience of people and local structures affected by protracted and acute crises, enabling them to better manage existing shocks and stresses and to reduce vulnerability to future crises. As a funding instrument situated within the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, TDA places particular emphasis on the interlinkages between immediate needs, longer-term resilience building and structural change. In this understanding, resilience is strengthened by supporting affected populations and local structures to cope with crises more independently, to prepare for recurring pressures, to reduce negative impacts over time, and to create more sustainable prospects through longer-term institutional and structural improvements. In line with BMZ’s approach, TDA projects are expected to **contribute to stabilization, adaptation and transformation capacities**, while promoting participation and self-help.
• Against this background, the present ToR sets out the scope, objectives, methodology and expected deliverables for a project-shaping **resilience analysis** that will inform the design of the proposed BMZ Transitional Development Assistance project in Mali and Niger.
