2.A Number of countries where WFP-assisted households enhance their resilience capacities, contributing to a reduction in future humanitarian needs
VERSION	V1.0 - 2026.04
INDICATOR CODE	2.A
TECHNICAL OWNER	PRGR
INDICATOR TYPE	Corporate Level Outcome Indicator Strategic Outcome 2. Reduced needs and enhanced resilience to withstand shocks
UNIT OF MEASUREMENT & ANALYSIS	Number of countries
INDICATOR DEFINITION	The indicator measures the number of countries where WFP intervention has contributed to improving the resilience of WFP assisted households. Since 2023 WFP has measured resilience outcomes using two perception-based indicators, namely the Resilience Capacity Score (RCS) for interventions focusing on a wide range of shocks and the Climate Resilience Capacity Score (CRCS) for interventions focusing on building resilience to climatic shocks. Both indicators consider 3 categories: Low C/RCS, Medium C/RCS and High C/RCS. The objective of WFP resilience interventions is to reduce the number of people in the low category translating into an increase on the upper categories. Building on this logic, the indicator will measure the number of countries where the proportion of households on the low resilience category has been reduced compared to the baseline.
MANDATORY COUNTRY-LEVEL INDICATORS & INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR APR AGGREGATION	Mandatory Country level Indicator(s) composing the corporate indicator: 33. Climate/resilience capacity score (C/RCS) Inclusion criteria for Mandatory Country Level Indicator(s): The mandatory country level indicator is included in the aggregation of the corporate indicator under SO.2 only if all the following conditions are met: Indicator 33 is reported against following sub-activities and marker: CAP; MMI; CAR; SLA; Climate specific Marker The category low of the RCS scores lower or equal than in the baseline The category low of the CRCS scores lower or equal than in the baseline Only CO-level indicators meeting all criteria above are eligible for aggregation.
CALCULATION & AGGREGATION METHODOLOGY	This indicator is derived from the aggregation of the country-level indicators listed above. For each country, this indicator compares the percentage of WFP-assisted households with low resilience capacities (based on the Resilience Capacity Score and/or the Climate Resilience Capacity Score) between two time points (e.g. Baseline and most recent Follow-up values). If this percentage has decreased or remained stable in one of these indicators, the country is counted as having improved or maintained resilience .
DISAGGREGATION FOR REPORTING IN APR	Type of shock (e.g. droughts, floods, cyclones, heatwaves, etc.)
BASELINE	Number of countries where Low RCS follow-up value is lower than baseline: 9 (out of 13 measuring RCS) Number of countries where Low CRCS follow-up value is lower than baseline: 14 (out of 22 measuring CRCS) *Only 7 countries collected both indicators. Of these CO only one (Chad) presented a different result on the two measurements with an increase in low RCS and decrease of CRCS. Indicator baseline: 15 COs have improved their resilience capacity in 2024 compared to baseline. (out of 28 COs measuring RCS and/or CRCS)
LIMITATIONS	The indicator counts the number of countries where WFP-assisted households enhanced their resilience capacities. It does not provide details on which or how much resilience capacities are enhanced nor on how long it takes for these capacities to be strengthened in every context. That level of information can be found in the Annual Corporate Report (ACR) of Country Offices (COs) reporting on the C/RCS outcome indicator. While improved resilience capacities contribute to reducing humanitarian food assistance needs, this indicator does not show changes in this regard. Details on changes in the reduction of humanitarian food assistance needs can be found in the ACR of COs reporting on the HFA outcome indicator.
