Vulnerability and Adaptation (V&A) profiling of the major vulnerable livelihood groups have been developed under several layers of methodological measures/ initiatives and in four sequential phases. In each phase, respective outputs have contributed towards the overall composition of the vulnerability and adaptation profiling.
Firstly: Review of secondary information and description of geophysical features of the study area.
Secondly: Reconnaissance field visit, elaboration of the methodology for the investigation and implementation.
Thirdly: Field assessment (comprising of PRA/RRA sessions, upazila and district workshops and key informant interviews), and
Fourthly: Analysis and document of the findings.
