SADC Regional Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis Programme: Joint Evaluation

The goal of the RVAA programme is to support resilient and sustainable rural and urban livelihoods, environments and institutions in reducing poverty and enhancing well-being in the SADC Region by strengthening and institutionalizing the region’s vulnerability analysis and assessment system. The programme is coordinated by the SADC Secretariat’s Disaster Risk Reduction Unit (DRRU) in the Office of the Executive Secretary through the Deputy Executive Secretary for Regional Integration. The first phase of the programme was from 2006 to 2011. The second Phase was from 2012 to 2016. The third phase, just like the previous one, is also funded by the FCDO and the SDC. WFP is supporting the SADC Secretariat in the technical implementation of the RVAA Strategic Plan 2017-2022 while Landell Mills is supporting the institutionalization component of the RVAA Programme.
