PVA 6 - Discuss what has been done so far (draft)

  1. Discuss and identify any actions that have been taken so far to address priority causes of vulnerability. What resources were used? What worked? What did not?
  2. Discuss whether there are any policies in place to reduce vulnerability. If so, are they being implemented? Do they work?
  3. Who has done what to date? Who has or had the power to address vulnerabilities? What support has the community received to date?
    • Tools: stakeholder analysis, chapatti diagrams, institutional profiles, network mapping, power analysis.
