Vulnerability Context

description: The present document and its contents, findings and reflections are core components of Work Package 4. It focuses on the identification of vulnerability profiling. It aims to define distinctively vulnerable groups (the VGs) among the forcibly displaced people (FDP). The Deliverable 4.1 (“Vulnerability context: definition and guidelines - preliminary version“) of the RAISD project (Reshaping Attention and Inclusion Strategies for Distinctively vulnerable people among the forcibly displaced) reflects itself within the dimensions of ‘concept of vulnerability and theoretical background’, ‘identification of vulnerability contexts’, ‘vulnerable groups and related profile’s identification’, and ‘vulnerable groups’ experiences lived through specific migrants’ or refugees’ programs’. Anadolu University (Turkey) has been the leader partner and implementer of this deliverable. Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) has been the support partner (methodological coordination role). Project partners [CESIE (Italy), UNIMED (Italy), University of Helsinki (Finland), Menedek-Migransokat Segito Egyesulet (Hungary), Yarmouk University (Jordan), Lebanese International University (Lebanon)], have each developed the fieldwork and a single preliminary country report, which have contributed to the final report. In terms of methodology, RAISD applies a triangular perspective: Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), action research, and socio-ecological models. All of them are related to the implication of stakeholders, vulnerable groups themselves, and different levels of social contexts and institutions. Thus, sources of information were key stakeholders, vulnerable groups, institutional and NGOs reports and documents as well as literature review. This Deliverable is based on a broad international fieldwork. The fieldwork is grounded on 178 interviews that were held with FDP (25-28 per country) and from 85 interviews with stakeholders (5 per country, plus 50 more conducted by UH). Those countries are Spain, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Crucial data was collected from Vulnerable Groups of FDP, members of the Action Research Units (ARUs, where the project carried out the works) and stakeholders, advisory board members and secondary sources. The findings and reflections in the document present a discussion on relevant information, which characterizes VGs and host communities (e.g. features, values and relations). Thus, it identifies relevant features to characterise a VC as the triple that includes a VG, a host community, and their interactions. It helps to build a definition of vulnerable context, which is a unique deliverable of RAISD. The document presents a discussion on relevant information which characterizes VGs and host communities (e.g. features, values and relations).

Finally, it proposes a preliminary definition of vulnerable context.
