The application of the Vulnerability Reduction Assessment (VRA) tool in Cape Verde
Project:
Summary:
Overall the communities involved in the VRA survey have a high perception of vulnerability with regards to climate events. After analyzing all data collected during the VRA, it was assessed that the baseline index for vulnerability in the project intervention areas is 79.62%. This is a significant value, because it is the perception of these communities on the vulnerabilities of the local means of survival and their welfare to cope with climate changes, their assumptions regarding the risks of climate changes, the trust that they have on the project and on the institutions once the project ends. The aim is to reduce this index to 60 or 25% due to project interventions.

Sustainability:
The survey will be repeated at mid-term and at the conclusion of the project.
Replication:
The VRA approach can be applied to other projects too and in fact this remark was made by local institutional representatives.
