INDICATOR SELECTION
The Technical Consortium provides an approach to applied resilience, using proposed system indicators in conjunction with existing human development indices to monitor and evaluate the impact of investments. These indicators operate over a Resilience Pathway, which looks beyond a single project timeline of 3-5 years, instead forecasting a longer 20-year time line and the impact multiple interventions have on enhancing resilience.
DECISION ANALYSIS MODELLING
The Technical Consortium and the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), with the technical assistance of Hubbard Decision Research (HDR), are undertaking the building of a decision analysis model, the aim of which is to understand resilience under the uncertainty and data deficiencies which exist. This approach draws from decision analysis procedures and techniques of Applied Information Economics (AIE).
SPATIAL TOOL SUMMARY REPORT
The term ‘resilience’ has gained significant traction within the agencies, governments, researchers and practitioners working across the development and humanitarian realm.
DATA GAPS IN THE HOA
Publications will be made available shortly
DATA CATALOGUE
The Technical Consortium has been given the mandate to establish catalogues containing baseline datasets for the IGAD member state countries. These catalogues will provide baseline data and needed to support evaluation of indicators, for which there is general agreement of a cumulative contribution towards "resilience" to drought in the Horn of Africa.
SYSTEMS APPROACH
Using a systems approach to defining resilience in the Horn of Africa, the Technical Consortium has developed a pilot tool with which to provide spatial analyses for investment targeting.
