Initial VRA Analysis Clause Samples
Initial VRA Analysis. The VRA analysis is a key component of the project planning phase, and is reported in the project proposal. Use the data recorded on the sides and bottom of the H-forms, as well as community discussions from the exercise to construct a narrative that describes issues and context raised by the meeting. Be sure to include: ▪ Composition of the meeting ▪ Common themes in the answers to the questions that make up the VRA ▪ Differences in perception between different sub-groups (eg: gender, livelihood type, etc) ▪ Other contextual information brought out by the VRA process Also, be sure to record the scores given by the community to the questions, and record them in a table such as the one provided.
Initial VRA Analysis. Vulnerability Reduction Assessment Reporting Form Scores Vulnerability of livelihood/welfare to existing climate change and/or climate variability. What is the impact of Drought, Flooding and Soil Erosion on your community? 3.6 Vulnerability of livelihood/welfare to developing climate change risks. What effect would it have on you and the community if it happened frequently? 3 Magnitude of barriers (institutional, policy, technological, financial, etc.) barriers to adaptation. What prevents you from adapting new measures to minimize the effects of Flood, Drought and Soil Erosion? 5.5 Ability and willingness of the community to sustain the project intervention Rate your confidence that this project will continue after the project period end. 5 V.R.A Score Average of above 10 4.3 Global Environmental Benefits (GEB) The Impact Assessment System indicator will be measured at the end of the project using the following components: Land Degradation
(1) 50 acres of land to be sustainable managed by project (40 farmers to be involved in soil mitigation and soil fertility practices)
(2) Approximately 10 acre of soil erosion prevented
(3) 50 farmers employing minimum tillage, log barrier, terracing and vegetative barrier technique used to prevent land slippage.
Initial VRA Analysis. The initial VRA highlighted the potential for flooding, loss of crops, destruction of bridge and access-way for business and commuting citizens. The meeting was held with key stakeholders from affected areas in the community on Tuesday December 30, 2009. A total of 25 persons attended and the questions were asked and the responses counted and recorded by the STEA facilitation team. The questions were asked by the facilitator and the responses were counted from the show of hands and recorded by the facilitator’s assistant. The scores were tabulated and averaged and the results passed on to the CDC executive. Ability of individual farmers to deal with flooding from present rainfall patterns (250-380cm) 1 Ability of community to deal with increased flooding impacts from increased rainfall and stronger storms 1 Confidence of community support to sustain project after project period has ended 8 Ability of community to cope with climate change impacts of increased intensity of rainfall and flooding after project intervention 6
