Urban Multi-Sector Vulnerability Assessment Tool for Displacement Contexts (UMVAT): Guidance Note for Humanitarian Practitioners

This paper provides guidance on the urban multi-sector vulnerability assessment tool for displacement contexts (UMVAT) and accompanying resources (such as questionnaires, checklists, FGD’s and KII outlines, training materials, etc). The UMVAT has been developed for humanitarian responses in urban environments affected by significant displacement of populations due to conflict and other causes. Although developed for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the UMVAT can be applied by other humanitarian organisations working in similar contexts
