Summary Description<br />
approaches that are low-cost and<br />
easy to put into practice.<br />
The CVCA Handbook is designed<br />
to stimulate analysis and dialogue<br />
about climate change and human<br />
vulnerability. It uses guiding<br />
questions to examine factors at<br />
multiple levels using a variety of<br />
tools to gather information. It is<br />
designed to be flexible so that the<br />
learning process can be adapted<br />
to suit the needs of particular<br />
users.<br />
The Handbook begins with a basic<br />
overview of key concepts and<br />
CARE’s approach to communitybased<br />
adaptation. It then<br />
describes how to plan for and<br />
conduct a CVCA. This is followed<br />
by a detailed outline of the<br />
analytical framework, with<br />
suggestions for tools that can be<br />
used at different levels to answer<br />
the guiding questions. Finally, the<br />
Handbook provides<br />
suggestions for applying the<br />
results, using examples and short<br />
case studies. Detailed guidance<br />
on using participatory tools in a<br />
CVCA analysis is provided in the<br />
Field Guides at the end of the<br />
Handbook. Links to<br />
complementary resources are<br />
provided throughout the<br />
Handbook.<br />
