Vulnerability Assessment and Community Action Plan

May 4, 2018

A participatory community-based vulnerability assessment (CVA) and development of climate risk responsive community action plan (CAP) have recently been completed covering 24 sucos in Aileu, Ainaro, Manufahi, and Ermera municipalities across Dili Ainaro Road Development Corridor (DARDC) in Timor Leste.  The main objectives of the assessment were to identify climate induced key hazards in each suco; support communities to develop a climate risk responsive community action plan (CAP) for resilience and identify mechanisms for integration of CVA findings into the Integrated Municipal Development Planning (PDIM) process. The assessment process was divided into two phases. The first phase included testing of methods and tools developed for CVA focusing on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation and piloted at the suco Talitu of Aileu municipality. Following the review and approval of methods and tools by UNDP team and key stakeholders, the second phase covered the CVA in an additional 23 sucos.
