| description | In a world rocked by environmental, political, and economic shocks, achieving resilience has emerged as a goal because it captures the essence of well-being over time despite the inevitable ups and downs captured in snapshots of present circumstances. After decades of conflict and environmental shocks in South Sudan, including the eruption of civil war in 2013 shortly after its independence in 2011, communities there lack stability and suffer from exorbitantly high rates of food insecurity, poor health indicators, and low educational and livelihood opportunities. International development agencies have sought to support South Sudan, but years of financial investment have failed to alleviate recurrent humanitarian crises. This paper outlines a general framework for resilience and resilience measurement, assesses initial baseline data collected from South Sudan, and builds a novel quantitative and qualitative methodology for measuring community resilience in countries like South Sudan burdened by shocks and weak institutions. |
