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