Between late 2013 and early 2014 the IFRC supported several African National Societies to conduct Vulnerability and Capacity Assessments (VCA) in urban communities:
  • Yaounde VI Subdivision, Yaounde, Cameroon
  • Arada Sub-city (Woreda 4 and Woreda 5), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
  • Tomber Mort and Akekoi, Abidjan, Ivory Coast
  • Lunga Lunga Informal Settlements, Nairobi, Kenya
  • Commune de Guinaw Rails Nord, Dakar, Senegal
  • Rufisque, Dakar, Senegal
  • Hananasifu and Kigogo Mkwajuni Communities/Streets, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
  • Dzivarasekwa and Hatcliffe, Harare North District, Harare, Zimbabwe
This report discusses these 8 VCA reports as a body, emphasizing their strengths and suggesting strategies for further strengthening the VCA approach for urban
engagement.
