About the Multidimensional Child Vulnerability Tool

Investigate extreme deprivation, extreme discrimination, urbanization, vulnerability to natural hazards and conflict across 193 countries with data for 3000 subnational regions.

About

The Multidimensional Child Vulnerability Index (MCVI) forms part of World Vision’s ongoing effort to enhance the scope, targeting and impact of its humanitarian, development, advocacy and peacebuilding programming, particularly in relation to the quadruple threat of urban fragility, climate change, gender inequality and social exclusion. The MCVI of data sets covering over 3000 subnational administrative units, aggregated across the following 5 domains:

  • Extreme Deprivation
  • Extreme Discrimination
  • Exposure to Violence and Abuse
  • Environmental Exposure
  • Resilience

WCVI Interpretation

The MCVI involves banding each indicator into 5 categories on the relative position of the area globally. The categories allow for visualisation of each indicator relative to each other and their global standing.

Subnational Maps

The subnational map is coloured based on the vulnerability level of the country. Thus if the country is assessed at having Very High Vulnerability, the subnational map will be coloured different shades of RED to show vulnerabilities relative to the country (as opposed the the world). The lightest shade indicates lower performance, while the darkest shade shows higher performance.

Cross-Area Insights

The Cross-Area insights allows for comparisons across regional, country and subnational area levels.

Timeline Analysis

The Timeline Analysis presents a line graph showing the trend of MCVI scores over time. This visual allows users to identify changes in vulnerability levels across domains, highlighting key trends and informing future interventions.

Country Maps

At the Country Level, each country is coloured by the MAXIMUM VULNERABILITY LEVEL of any of its subnational regions. A country with all subnational areas experiencing very low vulnerability and one very high Vulnerability, the country will be coloured RED in the map.

Radar Plots

The Radar Plots indicate which if the quartiles a region, country or subnational region fall into across each indicator.

MCVI & Domain Distribution Tables

The distribution tables indicate the number of countries or subnational areas fall in each MCVI or domain category.
