Spatial analysis for investment targeting: pilot tool
In order to better measure resilience, and to better understand and target investment that will enhance resilience, the Technical Consortium is developing a pilot spatial tool. The purpose of this resilience modeling tool ...
The creation of a household resilience index using limited data from the IGAD region
Given that data in the Horn of Africa is limited, one is more likely to obtain relatively complete data when using a model comprised of a more limited set of targeted indicators. In this way, a model of resilience should ...
Modeling potential livestock losses and vulnerability due to drought in the IGAD region
The Horn of Africa is predominantly comprised of arid or semi-arid lands, and is a naturally drought-prone region. With increasing pastoral or agro-pastoral land use, the environment and pastoral communities in this region ...
The development of baseline datasets, indicator selection and analytics to assess the impact of investment for IGAD member states
The activities detailed in this report form part of the work necessary to provide
a foundation upon which to develop these tools. In addition to providing the
IGAD member states with baseline datasets and appropriate ...
The application of decision analysis modelling for investment targeting
In June of 2013, the Technical Consortium for Building Resilience in the Horn of Africa (TC) hosted a three-day workshop to convene key experts. The purpose of this meeting was to further examine the potential for application ...
Assessing resilience to drought: defi ning drought and reviewing trends in the Horn of Africa
As a focus area of the Technical Consortium is to assess the resilience of populations to drought, one has to have a clear definition of “drought.” Climatologists identify three different types of drought: (1) meteorological ...
The LUCID Model and Its Role in Supporting Land Use Planning Processes in Southern Ethiopia
Decision support systems (DSS) are interactive, computer-based tools that are used in a variety of disciplines. They are intended to enable decision-makers to better use information and improve both the process of ...
Modeling resilience with applied information economics (AIE)
We created a probabilistic decision analysis tool to model the issue of resilience in the Horn of Africa through a cooperative effort between the Technical Consortium for Building Resilience in the Horn of Africa (TC) and ...
Modeling livestock feed and fodder availablity in the ASALs of the IGAD region
In the arid parts of Africa there is a strong relationship between rainfall and plant production. This is especially prevalent in areas that receive less than 300mm rain per annum, where water is the principal limiting ...
Development of a pilot composite index using data from the IGAD region
This
report details one methodology that the TC has piloted to try to respond to this
challenge. The TC has formulated composite indices from weighted resilience
indicators and this brief summarises process of development ...
