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).

Although developed for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the UMVAT can be applied by other humanitarian organisations working in similar contexts
