Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (VCA) By: Keo Sambo Deputy director CRC Kampong Thom branch Email: keosambo43@gmail.com Facebook: keosambo


CRC

What is VCA? -Vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) is a process of participatory investigation designed to assess and address major risks affecting communities. It aims to determine people’s vulnerability to those risks, and their capacity to cope and recover from a disaster. -VCA makes it possible for National Societies to work with vulnerable communities to: (a) help them understand the hazards they face; (b) assist them in taking the necessary measures to improve the situation, based on their own skills, knowledge and initiatives.


CRC Why do we process VCA? The VCA process helps communities to: -gather baseline information, which serves as a crucial reference for emergency needs assessments following a disaster; -better understand their environment in relation to predicted risks and hazards; -increase awareness of their capacities to cope with risks and hazards; -reach agreement with local authorities on actions needed to prevent or reduce the potential effects of a disaster; -implement and evaluate projects in the areas of prevention, preparedness and risk reduction.


CRC

There are three of Assessment 1- Vulnerability Capacity assessment (VCA) -Conduct before disaster occur and long term emergency response recovery and development.

2- Emergency Assessment (EA) -Conduct during disaster occurred by other hazards and save somebody life.

3- Need Assessment -Continue to find some need for rehabilitation .

VCA Tools How many tools are there for assessment and collecting information? 1- Secondary Data 2- Maps (Hazard mapping, Vulnerability mapping, Capacity mapping) 3- Focus group discussion 4-Interview and questionnaires


CRC 5- Seasonal Calendar 6- Transect walks 7- Direct observation 8- Historical profile 9- Stakeholder groups


CRC

1- Secondary Data - Team leaders will already have collected secondary sources of information. There is therefore no need to spend much time discussing secondary sources.
