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
