Africa Building for Disruption: An Introduction to the IFC’s Building Resilience Tool Webinar

Overview

Launching the first of a three-part series of webinars in collaboration with IFC (International Finance Corporation,) we’re excited to invite you to this first webinar that speaks directly to the future of Africa’s built environment. Titled “RICS in Africa – Building for Disruption: An Introduction to the IFC’s Building Resilience Tool,” this session introduces the Building Resilience Index (BRI) - a free, practical tool that helps assess and improve how buildings withstand climate and natural hazards. With real-world examples from Mozambique and a live demo of the BRI platform, we’ll explore how this tool supports smarter design, investment, and policy decisions.

Whether you’re in construction, finance, or governance, this is your opportunity to be part of a growing movement toward safer, more resilient African cities. Let’s build for disruption - together.
