The experiment supported the Resident Coordinator’s office in exploring new ways of integrating forward-looking and participatory approaches in their planning processes. A method to systematically map the causes of vulnerability was developed to better understand the interconnectedness of current and emerging phenomena impacting the future of vulnerability. The outputs included a process for collecting input through community dialogues. The UNGP team provided strategic guidance for analysing the collected data and integrating the key insights into the Common Country Analysis (CCA). This is a key planning document describing the development of the UN collaboration framework – the UN Country Team’s strategic plan.
