Mercy Corps Somalia resilience studyConceptual Framework
Socio demographic attributes
- Sex of head of HH- # of HH members- Average HH education- Housing conditions- Wealth status
Shocks
- Type experienced: Drought, conflict- Exposure: Length, extent, magnitude
Enabling Environment
- Freedom of movement- Security - Access to natural resources - Access to services- Social support- Livelihood diversity- Governance / Institutional performance- Women’s role in HH decisions
Resilience
- Expenditures- Assets loss (due to shock)- Household dietary diversity- Distressful coping strategies- Adaptive strategies
