ANNEX V: Add-on tools, games and exercises
This annex provides links to other tools that can be used to complement PACDR and a quick guide for decision-making on whether or not to use them.
Conflict sensitivity analysis (Module 2 – Climate change and hazard analysis) What can it be used for? In some contexts the hazard analysis of the PACDR can reveal that there are severe underlying conflicts in the community that could hinder the success of any climate-related project or community activities or that could be made worse during such a project. In such a case, an additional conflict sensitivity analysis helps to address these tensions in a systematic manner. How does it work? The Helvetas/Swisspeace manual on working in fragile and conflict-affected contexts uses mainly participatory exercises. Step 1 includes three main exercises: (1) an actors’ mapping and (2) an analysis of the positive and negative factors in the community that divide different groups, including men and women, or bring them together (e.g. values, institutions, common experiences or traditions). This is complemented by (3) an analysis of governance problems. The results can inform the development of conflict-sensitive adaptation options in the PACDR. In highly fragile or conflict-ridden contexts a full conflict analysis as described in the manual is recommended. How long does it take? The three exercises of step 1 in the tool take about 4 hours.

Participatory Vulnerability Analysis (Module 3 – Vulnerability Assessment) What can it be used for? The Participatory Vulnerability Analysis (PVA) tool developed by Action Aid enables you to do an additional vulnerability assessment of vulnerable people or groups. The PACDR analyses the vulnerability of the community in general and of different livelihood resources. It also looks at gender dimensions of vulnerability and touches on issues of minorities, but not at differences within these groups. The PVA tool provides a detailed analysis of who the most vulnerable are within a community beyond gender and minorities, what they are vulnerable to and what the underlying causes of vulnerabilities are.
