Good practices and lessons learned

Such health vulnerability and adaptation assessment would need to be discussed with different stakeholders and done by team of multi discipline professionals. The health vulnerability and adaptation assessment would be better if it was supplemented with targeted field observation and community discussion. Regions have to conduct their own health vulnerability and adaptation assessment taking districts as unit of analysis.
