22nd ALNAP Meeting (December 2007)
Silva Ferretti presented ActionAid (AA)’s Participatory Vulnerability Analysis (PVA)
PVA is a process that involves creating a space for communities and other stakeholders to identify what vulnerability means to them by enabling a conversation to happen between different people about: o the nature of threats and hazards in their daily lives and o their level of exposure to them o their vulnerabilities, and o the impact of poverty, abuse of power and the denial of rights on this vulnerability
