Household Data Sources for Measuring and Understanding Resilience

Part of the FSIN Technical Series, this third paper elaborates on the concepts presented in Technical Series Nos. 1 and 2 regarding the definition, principles and proposed common analytical model for resilience measurement. The paper seeks to: (1) set out some of the data requirements involved in assessing and operationalizing the concept of resilience; (2) provide an overview of available data sources; and (3) explore how far existing data sources can be repurposed to capture information on resilience.
