Description
The CVCA methodology, developed by CARE International, provides a framework for analyzing climate change vulnerability and adaptive capacity at the community level. Recognizing that local actors must have the opportunity to drive their own future, the CVCA places local knowledge on climate risks and adaptation strategies at the forefront of the data gathering and analysis process. The Handbook includes guiding questions to examine resilience factors at multiple levels (national, local government/community, and household/individual levels). Field guides are provided for conducting participatory analysis with different groups within communities. The CVCA Handbook is designed to be used in conjunction with other resources, tools, and analytical frameworks, and links to complementary resources are provided throughout the document.
