Request for information on assessing the vulnerability context

(Dr John Twigg)
October 8, 2003


Dear All

I'm looking at how development project planning and evaluation systems incorporate issues of hazard risk and socio-economic vulnerability to it.

It would be helpful to learn from those who have adopted Sustainable
Livelihoods approaches how they have appraised the vulnerability context and how this assessment has been incorporated into project design and monitoring. The literature on initial appraisal and evaluation of livelihoods-focused initiatives appears to concentrate on livelihood assets and strategies.

I'm familiar with the standard vulnerability assessment methods used in disaster management but am interested to learn how development/livelihoods practitioners are dealing with these issues.

Advice and information of any kind would be welcomed.
