This study adapted a USAID/TANGO resilience analysis framework to use with secondary datasets. The goals were to describe the relationships between resilience capacity and well-being outcomes in the face of a drought (adequate food consumption, household dietary diversity score, per capita daily expenditures, and moderate to severe hunger), to empirically test whether resilience capacity mitigates the effects of shocks on well-being outcomes, and to better understand the relationships between programming, resilience capacity, and well-being outcomes.
The study covers four provinces in Zimbabwe – Manicaland, Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South, and Masvingo1 – from 2013 through 2016. The provinces were chosen because they are sites for USAID/Zimbabwe Development Food Security Activities (DFSAs).
