VCA Full Framework
Source: USAID | Year: 2024
USAID’s Violence and Conflict Assessment (VCA) is a tool to assist USAID Missions, U.S. government counterparts, and partners to better understand, address, and navigate the pervasive challenges of armed conflict and violence. USAID recognizes the critical role that fragility, conflict, and violence play in compounding an array of already complex development challenges—from acute food insecurity and climate change to global health and migration. Effective development approaches to these challenges should be linked, sequenced, and conflict sensitive. The VCA applies a structured approach to
identify the dynamics of conflict, violence, and peace in a given context and
deliver technically sound and actionable recommendations to help USAID’s decision-makers and partners meet their development objectives.
This publication should be read together with its companion document, the VCA Application Toolkit, which provides concrete guidance on planning and logistics, fieldwork, data collection, synthesis, writing, and reporting
