Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment

Output

number of target communities which completed the Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment and designed a follow-up action plan

The indicator measures the number of the target communities whose members completed the Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment, agreed on the follow-up actions and documented them.

1) Count the number of communities with a fully completed  Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment and a clear plan specifying what actions will be taken (by whom, when) as a result of the assessment's findings.

1) Treat the assessment as “completed” only if it was participatory and included meaningful input from different population subgroups and those most at risk (for example, women and men, older and younger people, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and marginalised groups relevant to the context). Avoid relying only on local authorities or dominant community representatives.

2) Ensure that the follow-up action plan reflects the priorities and constraints of different groups and specifies responsibilities in an inclusive way (who will do what, by when), so that actions are feasible for those most affected and not designed only around the perspectives of the most powerful groups.
