Systematic ranking approach
Technical characteristics
o Vulnerability ranking is implemented equally and with same
methodology for all the communes in the country
o It is based on objective evaluation using scientific methods
and with extensive commune disaggregated data
Strengths
o Vulnerability is well defined and it is easy to compare
between communes, districts and provinces
o All dimensions that contribute to vulnerability can be
included if data is available
o Communes are selected based on their vulnerability
characteristics rather than „quotas‟
o It is objective, scientific and not affected by unwanted
factors
