TABLE 3.1 PROPOSED METRICS FOR MEASURING RESILIENCE TO FOOD AND NUTRITION INSECURITY Sample metrics


Initial basic conditions


> Food and nutrition security > Health index > Assets index > Social capital index > Access to services index > Infrastructure > Ecological index


Covariate shocks and stressors > Drought/flood > Health shocks > Political crises > Price volatility > Trade/policy shocks


Idiosyncratic shocks and stressors > Illness/death > Loss of income > Failed crops > Livestock loss


Responses


> Mitigation strategies > Coping strategies > Adaptation strategies


> Food and nutrition security > Health index > Assets index > Social capital index > Access to services index > Infrastructure > Ecological index


Source: Adapted from Constas and Barrett (2013).


> Measured at multiple levels, across the systems that affect food and nutrition security


Subsequent basic conditions


> High or appropriate frequency > Sensitive to intertemporal variation and critical thresholds > Measured at many levels, including household, community, village, district


> High or appropriate frequency > Sensitive to short-term variation and critical thresholds > Measured at many levels, including household, community, village, district


Resilience measurement principles


Shocks and stressors


> High frequency > Intertemporal > Dynamic > Measured at multiple levels, from household, community, village, and district up to country-level macroeconomic indicators
