Understanding the RIMA-II Model for Resilience Measurement in Agricultural Development
The RIMA-II model offers an innovative quantitative approach to measuring resilience in the context of food insecurity. It provides a framework for understanding how households cope with shocks and stressors, enabling effective assistance for vulnerable populations to build food secure and resilient livelihoods. The operationalization of FSINs adaptive, transformative, and absorptive capacities through resilience pillars like adaptive capacity, social safety nets, access to basic services, and assets plays a crucial role in enhancing resilience in communities, particularly in regions like Juba, South Sudan.

The RIMA-II model Resilience measurement at FAO
The RIMA model RIMA Analysis) is an innovative quantitative approach that estimates resilience to food insecurity and generates the evidence for more effectively assisting vulnerable populations. (Resilience Index Measurement and RIMA allows explaining why and how some households cope with shocks and stressor better than others do and provides rigorous framework for humanitarian development initiatives to build food secure and resilient livelihoods. and long-term
RIMA perfectly suits several definitions of resilience: Defining resilience The ability to prevent disasters and crises as well as to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover from them in a timely, efficient and sustainable manner (FAO, 2013) The capacity of a household to bounce back to a previous level of well-being (for instance food security) after a shock (Alinovi, Mane & Romano, 2009) The capacity that ensures adverse stressors and shocks do not have long-lasting consequences (Resilience Working Group of the Food Security Information Network, 2014) adverse Measurement development Technical
Operationalization of FSINs Adaptive, Transformative and Absorptive capacities Resilience pillars Household resilience Social safety nets (SSN) Access to basic services (ABS) Assets (AST) Adaptive capacity (AC)
Resilience pillars Definition Resilience pillars Adaptive Capacity is the ability of a household to adapt to a new situation and develop new strategies of livelihood Adaptive Capacity The Social Safety Nets pillar measures the ability of households to access timely and reliable assistance provided by international agencies, charities, and NGOs, as well as help from relatives and friends. Social Safety Nets Assets comprise both productive and non-productive assets. Examples of indicators include land, livestock and durables. Other tangible assets such as house, vehicle, and household amenities reflect living standards and wealth of a household. Access to Basic Services shows the ability of a household to meet basic needs, and access and effective use of basic services; e.g., access to schools, health facilities; infrastructures and markets. Assets Access to Basic Services
