Topic outline
Resilience measurement and analysis are critical for formulating evidence-based policy, programmes and investments for food security. This course provides an overview of the Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA), a methodology that enables a rigorous analysis of how households cope with shocks and stressors.
The course is aimed at programme designers and implementers, M&E officers, policy makers and all those who want to learn how RIMA can support programme and policy development to reinforce households’ resilience to food insecurity.
- How RIMA can support programme design, monitoring and evaluation.
- How the resilience capacity index (RCI) of a household is calculated by measuring the presence of factors influencing resilience.
- How to collect the data required to build the RCI through the RIMA questionnaire.
- How to interpret and communicate the results of the analysis.
The course consists of 4 sections, ranging from approximately 10 to 15 minutes duration each:
- Section 1 - What is RIMA?
