THE COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTICS are an initiative of civil society organizations that are part of HumVenezuela. They were conducted between May and June 2021, 15 months after the COVID pandemic arrived to the country, with the objective of increasing the availability of information from primary sources and collected in the field, on the scale and intensity of the impacts of the Complex Humanitarian Emergency in the different states of the country and vulnerable populations in those states.

The collection of information is carried out using a single questionnaire agreed among the participating organizations, in sectors or areas especially relevant for humanitarian work because they compromise people’s rights and point to situations or circumstances of vulnerability that may endanger their lives, integrity, welfare and security.

In these diagnoses, 4,489 family groups were surveyed in 16 states of the country (Miranda, Distrito Capital, Carabobo, Lara, Yaracuy, Zulia, Táchira, Mérida, Guárico, Anzoátegui, Aragua, Trujillo, Amazonas, Bolívar, Monagas, Nueva Esparta), whose total populations represent 86% of the national population, and data were collected from 15,175 members of the groups surveyed in the sectors of food, water and other basic services, health, basic education, human mobility, violence and community problems. The sample included different populations, including women, children and adolescents, the elderly, people with disabilities, indigenous peoples, LGBTI people, producers and farmers, and people with chronic and acute health problems, including COVID-19.
