For this course, a framework is to be developed in order to ensure that graduates can effectively address institutional, structural, socio-economic and environmental gaps that exist. It will highlight the key factors that must be considered in order for this to be done. These include an analysis of the characteristics and location of vulnerable households, the differences in and efficacy of the risk management strategies adopted by households in response to shocks (i.e. dangerous natural phenomena, human activities or conditions that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption or environmental damage), and the implementation strategies that can be employed to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerability.
