Key findings from IDSUE reveal a heterogeneous picture in the five urban slums. They
also reveal worsening trends, between and within slums, as well as over time. Key
findings from IDSUE data analysis for the period Aug 2012 – Feb 2014 are presented
in this document; more detail is provided in the IDSUE factsheet. This analysis has guided
IDSUE to know where to focus data collection and who to monitor. Through indicator
refinement using the relevance, sensitivity and usefulness criteria test, IDSUE
increasingly knows what and how to monitor changes in vulnerability.
