Community factsheet gives an overview of the capacities and resources available in a community at the start of the assessment process, providing basic background information and context. It is important to combine generic information on the community with data reflecting the resilience characteristics as a basis to establish an effective baseline picture. Much of the requested information may be readily available from secondary sources, some may have to be obtained through the EVCA process itself especially through key informant interviews. Collect disaggregating data by gender where possible.
