Strategic review of Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement

IRMA undertook a comprehensive review of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement’s main risk assessment methodology – the Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (VCA). Through an extensive literature review and a global consultation process, IRMA produced a new strategy to relaunch VCA as a multi-sectorial community-led approach to risk assessment, adaptable to any context. The strategy includes enhancements to the methodology itself, an internal and external social marketing campaign, and recommendations for technological innovation.
