Today. Events are recurring seasonal patterns, not forecasts.

Indicative reading. Pressure on households is likely to peak from December to February, when the lean season coincides with the cyclone season and the rainy season. Food stocks are typically replenished by harvests from August to November and from March to June. No wet-season hazard, outbreak or lean season is recorded from May to October, making this the likeliest window for field activities such as assessments, registration or construction.

Climate vulnerability assessment

Ikongo district analysis

The district profile is the most local layer of the CVA. It brings together hazard exposure, livelihood dependencies, access to basic services and displacement history for the action units, and where possible repeats the assessment across the rainy and dry seasons.

Questions the district analysis will answer

  1. Which action units face the highest combined hazard exposure and vulnerability?
  2. Which livelihoods and services are most sensitive to the seasonal calendar?
  3. Which local capacities and plans can be strengthened to prevent or reduce displacement?

Analytical dimensions

  • 1Hazard
    Sudden-onset (floods, cyclones, landslides) and slow-onset (lake-level rise, drought, degradation)
  • 2Exposure
    People, settlements, infrastructure and livelihoods in hazard-prone areas
  • 3Vulnerability
    Socio-economic sensitivity, disaggregated by sex, age and disability
  • 4Adaptive capacity
    Services, institutions, social protection and coping strategies
  • 5Displacement risk
    Combined likelihood and scale of disaster displacement
