Vulnerability Assessments (VAs) can be useful tools in providing key insights for NGOs and other development stakeholders. But what is the best way to integrate gender, and how can we use them to design programmes which have resilience-building measures and risk reduction strategies at their heart?
We will be drawing on experiences from development practitioners and consider what we have learnt about the importance of integrating gender issues into VAs.
