With economic resilience increasingly an objective of assistance activities, demand has increased for ways to measure it. Uses abound particularly for measures that can track a population’s resilience over time, quantify the impacts of interventions on resilience, and compare the cost-effectiveness of pre-shock resilience-building with post-shock humanitarian assistance.

This workshop will introduce the Cumulative Avoided Losses (CAL) Metric, a method developed under the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Markets, Risk and Resilience. The CAL Metric is a single number that quantifies economic resilience in terms of the total compromise of current and future economic well-being as the result of a shock.

Participants will not only learn about the CAL method, but gain hands-on practice interpreting graphs and discuss how to apply the method in their work.

Lunch provided.

Agenda and resources coming soon.
