Abstract
In the Horn of Africa (HoA), the livelihoods of smallholder farmers are threatened by climate variability and change. Events such as droughts and heavy rainfall events have been experienced more frequently during the last three decades. Climate resilience has hence come to be a focus of governments and development partners in the region. The increasing focus on resilience has necessitated better measurement of the characteristics and determinants of resilience. One methodology that takes consideration of these needs is the resilience capacity index (RCI), based on the resilience index measurement and analysis II (RIMA II), a robust methodology having been applied in numerous contexts in Africa and the Middle East. In RIMA, the unit of analysis is a household and the estimation of resilience capacity is derived from the operationalization of the O. Ngesa · D. Duveskog · I.
