What is TIVA?

Tuvalu's Integrated Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment (TIVA) is a key instrument to identify and prepare a nation and its people to the risks posed by climate change and disasters.

​The IVA recognises that
climate change and non-climate change factors should be assessed in a multi-sectoral vulnerabilities framework. It focuses the assessment of
exposure, sensitivities and adaptive capacity within a sustainable livelihoods framework.

​This focuses on people’s access to natural, infrastructural, human, finance resources to support their livelihood needs and the institutional structures and processes that influence resource access and use.

Methodology

Guided by key vulnerability, disaster risk and sustainable livelihood frameworks, the Tuvalu IVA utilizes several methods of data collection to carry out the assessment. This has involved desk-top and scientific studies, national consultations, fieldwork, participatory appraisals in selected villages, focus group surveys, and sector-specific surveys. This intranet site is based on the fieldwork and participatory appraisals collected through the IVA survey.

Scoring

The scoring of each component is assessed qualitatively by identified key informants from the community and trained IVA assessors. The assessment tools include focus group discussions, field walk, documentation review and risk mapping.
