What is the impact of the UK’s International Climate Fund's programmes on household and community resilience to climate variability and climate change?

This report details the findings of a short assignment on the measurement of resilience commissioned by DFID as part of its support to the UK’s International Climate Fund (ICF). The purpose of the assignment was to review existing methodologies for measuring resilience and to present a methodology for the measurement of resilience that allows ICF projects to report against certain ICF Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The assignment paid particular attention to the need to establish methodologies for assessing project results under the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) programme, funded under the ICF.

The report reviews existing and emerging methodologies for measuring resilience and assesses their applicability to ICF and BRACED projects. It also examines how the measurement of resilience is treated in existing ICF M&E plans, and in BRACED project proposals. It draws on these findings to develop a novel methodology for the measurement of resilience at the household and community levels as part of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of ICF and BRACED projects.
