Research in BRACED projects aim to enhance understanding of how project activities can help deliver more resilient livelihoods in different contexts.This study is interested in ascertaining how flows of information, between and across different types of actor, shape policy, practice and outcomes for resilience programming.
This Learning Paper presents:
- the common methodology: a qualitative longitudinal methodology, including a mix of semi-structured interviews, participant observation, focus groups, key informant surveys and desk reviews;
- a justification of the study and the conceptual framework that integrates Béné’s three-dimensional view on resilience and Cleaver’s Institutional Bricolage approach
- preliminary findings from both Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, derived from the baseline data collection of 2015- 2016, signposting the direction in which the research is heading.
