Customized Standardization

• NOT an oxymoron!

• Context is important

• SOME uniformity has advantages

Practicality

• Documents designed with the users in mind

• Resource-intensity and 6 years of testing drove the options

Complement to Other Resources

• Guidance Notes

• Short Course Series/Webinars

• Evidence Briefs

• Assessment Tools

• Case Studies

Important Caveats / Considerations

• Food security-centric

• HH/Community-centric

• Resist the urge to adopt the “easiest” way forward

• Categories are not “fixed”

RESILIENCE AND RESILIENCE CAPACITIES MEASUREMENT OPTIONS

USAID-funded food security

activities require consistent and

context-specific ways to measure

resilience and resilience capacity

in order to ensure effective

resilience programming and

continuous improvement based

on evidence.

Guidance

• Provides an introduction to and comparison of several measurement approaches for analyzing resilience (i.e., Light, Intermediate, and Full), each of which reflects a different level of effort and budget in terms of the survey instrument and analysis used (i.e., number of questions asked and analyzed).

• Intermediate and Light approaches use subsets of the questions, responses, and analysis of the Full approach.

Full approach – resilience focus countries; full “menu” of

questions, responses, and analyses

Intermediate approach – programs in countries promoting

resilience but not resilience focus countries; subset from Full menu

Light approach – programs in countries that are not resilience

focus countries; minimal subset from Full menu

Household and Community Questionnaires

• Together, the household and

community questionnaires make up

the resilience instrument.

• Must be used in conjunction with

the FFP core questionnaire.

• In the FFP questionnaire, certain

modules or questions must remain

and others must be deleted when

used with the resilience

instrument.

• Replacement questions included in

an annex if not used with FFP

questionnaire.

Enumerator Guidance

• Provides specific instructions for enumerators to help them interpretquestions and responses in the household and community questionnaires.

• Not all questions are included:

− Yes/no questions that do not require further explanation.


Methodological Guidance

• Provides specific instructions for calculating individual components of resilience capacity as well as the three resilience indices absorptive, adaptive, and transformative capacity and an overall resilience index.

• Represents the Full approach (i.e., complete “menu” of questions, responses, and analyses).


Resilience Indices and Components of Resilience Capacity: Full Approach


1. Access to cash savings. This indicator is a binary (dummy) variableequal to 1 if the respondent reported that a household memberregularly saves cash.

• Survey question: R601

2. Access to remittances. This indicator is a binary (dummy) variableequal to 1 if the respondent reported that the household receivesremittances.

• Survey questions: R1101, R1103, R1105, R1107

3. Asset ownership index. Asset ownership is measured using thenumber of consumer durables, productive assets, and livestock owned.

• Survey questions: BL H7.02, H7.03, R201, R201A

Panel Discussion

Resilience M&E in Implementation

Examples from the Sabal program in Nepal

1) Inform program design and TOC

2) Inform M&E system and tools

- Baseline survey

- Routine monitoring

3) Review and revise TOC

4) Frame how we talk about resilience
