Indicator Definition
| Indicator Name | WFC 1.10 Number of people who report to be more resilient to the adverse effects of climate change |
|---|---|
| Indicator Definition | This indicator measures the number of people who as a result of their own or their community’s participation in project activities have a greater ability to anticipate, to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes), to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences For Helvetas, aligned with other recognized definitions, resilience is the ability or the capacity of individuals, communities, organizations or countries to anticipate, cope with, adapt to and recover from shocks and disasters, without compromising their long-term perspectives. Adverse effects of climate change: Negative impacts of climate change that include, but are not limited to, increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events (e.g., floods, droughts, storms), changes in agricultural productivity, water scarcity, and increased health risks. |

Examples of Actvities
Capacity Building: communities successfully trained and applying climate-resilient agricultural practices, and/or water conservation, and/or disaster preparedness. Including agro-ecology.
Infrastructure Development: climate-resilient infrastructure rehabilitated or constructed and well maintained, such as flood barriers, drought-resistant water supply systems, or climate-proofed housing.
Ecosystem-based Adaptation: nature-based solutions implemented and well maintained, such as reforestation, wetland restoration, or sustainable land management practices, to enhance community resilience.
Early Warning Systems: early warning systems established or strengthened and proven functional for climate-related hazards like floods, droughts, or cyclones.
Policy and Advocacy: Successful support to development and proven implementation of local or regional policies that enhance climate resilience.
Livelihood Diversification: Proven use of alternative livelihoods that are less vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as climate-smart agriculture or eco-tourism.
Data Collection
| Data Source and Means of Verification | Household surveys with (a representative sample of) the target population, which include households that have participated in any project activity (primary stakeholders) or households in the project area (secondary stakeholders). |
|---|---|
| Measuring Frecuency | At least Endline |
| Data Collection Guidance | The measure is based on a cross-sectional survey. As resilience is a concept that is multifactorial and difficult to accurately quantify, the measure is not the difference between resilience “level” at endline compared to baseline. Instead, the indicator measures how the people consider themselves more, less, or the same resilient as before the project was implemented Conduct household surveys using structured questionnaires designed to assess resilience levels (see link to KOBO template below). For projects where the intervention has been on household level and the result is based on primary stakeholders, the target population is the number of households participated in the project. For community-wide interventions, where the households in the implementation area are indirect stakeholders, the target population are all households in the area that would potentially benefit from the intervention. --> PLEASE REPORT under REACH 003 |
How to report
At project level:
Start by calculating the proportion of people who have become more resilient. Divide the number of people in the sample who report an increase in resilience (numerator) by the total number of people surveyed (denominator). This gives you the proportion of people in the sample who are more resilient to climate change.
Multiply the calculated proportion by the total number of people who participated in the project (population). This will give an estimate of the total number of people in the project who have become more resilient to climate change.
Perform the same calculation for each disaggregation category (e.g., vulnerable groups, urban/rural) to better understand how resilience has changed across different groups within the project.
Report the numerator, denominator, and total population to ensure transparency and consistency in data reporting. This will allow the results to be aggregated effectively across multiple projects.
At Program/Global Level:
Sum the numerators and denominators across all projects. Calculate the program/global proportion of people who have become resilient by dividing the total number of resilient people (summed numerator) by the total number of surveyed people (summed denominator) across all projects.
Multiply the program/global proportion by the total targets populations involved across all projects to estimate the total number of people who have gained resilience at the program/global level.
