Effective Identification of Vulnerable Marginalized Groups, Conflict Sensitivity…..

The innovation involves the use of three social mapping tools during the initial community mobilisation and site entry when identifying and developing a community development sub-project. It is designed to identify vulnerable and marginalised groups (VMGs) in the community, to ensure that are involved in the identification of a development project or that they benefit from it. The innovation also incorporates the use of a field-level conflict appraisal tool to identify existing and potential conflicts that may be triggered or worsened by the proposed development activity, and identify ways in which these conflicts may be mitigated before the project development process is began. The objective is to identify the dividers and connectors that affect the project under the do-no-harm approach.
