Resilience Measurement for Development

Resilience Measurement and Analysis is a family of methods for quantifying the ability of households and communities to withstand, recover from, and adapt to shocks and stresses while maintaining or improving their well-being, especially food security. Exemplified by the FAO's Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA-II) and informed by Béné and colleagues' critical conceptual work, it treats resilience as a latent capacity inferred from observable assets, access to services, and adaptive behaviours, estimated statistically and tracked over time to inform and evaluate resilience-building interventions.
