Between late 2013 and early 2014 the IFRC supported several African National Societies to conduct Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCA) in urban communities. VCA reports were prepared for:
Yaounde VI Subdivision, Yaounde, Cameroon
Arada Sub-city (Woreda 4 and Woreda 5), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Tomber Mort and Akekoi, Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Lunga Lunga Informal Settlements, Nairobi, Kenya
Commune de Guinaw Rails Nord, Dakar, Senegal
Rufisque, Dakar, Senegal
Hananasifu and Kigogo Mkwajuni Communities/Streets, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Dzivarasekwa and Hatcliffe, Harare North District, Harare, Zimbabwe
This report discusses these 8 VCA reports as a body, emphasizing their strengths and suggesting strategies for further strengthening the VCA approach for urban engagement.
