Nigeria - Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis 2018

These data were collected in June 2018 in Borno State, Nigeria, to produce the baseline survey report of the FAO-UN Women-WFP Joint Action Programm, which aims to build the resilience of conflict-affected population and public sector institutions in Borno State in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way. Specifically, the project funded by the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF), implemented by FAO, UN Women, WFP and local partners, aims at restoring and promoting sustainable agriculture based livelihoods for food security, employment and nutrition improvement in Borno State. The baseline survey serves to collect indicators to analyse household resilience capacity and food security using the FAO Resilience Measurement Index and Analysis (RIMA) methodology. In total, 2 049 households were interviewed in ten local government areas (LGAs) in Borno State: Bama, Damboa, Jere, Kala Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Kwaya Kusar, Mafa, Monguno and Ngala. The sampling design considers the situation of food insecurity with reference to the Cadre Harmonisé for identifying risk areas and vulnerable populations; the coverage of the FAO,UN Women-WFP project; and the presence of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The data is used to estimate the household resilience capacity to food insecurity through the FAO Resilience Measurement Index and Analysis (RIMA) methodology.
