Vulnerability Profile of Palestinian Communities in Area C

The Vulnerability Profile Project (VPP) is a tool designed to visualize/map humanitarian- indicators in an interactive-web based platform. The Vulnerability Profile includes information on a range of humanitarian indicators related to physical protection, access to land and livelihoods, water and sanitation, education and health, among others. The VPP visualization tool presents the most comprehensive collection of data on Area C available to the humanitarian community as well as to development actors. Primary data featured was collected through a field survey conducted by humanitarian partners and led by OCHA in Summer 2013. In addition, OCHA is integratgs indicators based on additional sources, such as baseline information from PA institutions and detailed cluster surveys, to guarantee that the platform continues to present current and reliable information on Area C.

Each dashboard consists of a number of visuals including a map of the West Bank with 532 dots marking the Palestinian residential areas located in Area C and charts representing specific indicators. On the right side of the dashboard, you will find geographical and thematic filters
