From Vulnerability to Resilience, a framework for analysis and action to build community resilience

Abstract

The framework addresses the need to work in a more integrated way and helps to tackle the causes and consequences of vulnerability. It was initially developed under the project, Mainstreaming Livelihood-centred Approaches to Disaster Management (funded by the Department for International Development’s Conflict and Humanitarian Fund 2006–2010), which aimed to integrate analysis and action around strengthening livelihoods and disaster preparedness for reducing disaster risk. The V2R framework integrates climate analysis and action within an existing holistic approach which can be applied in many situations.
