Abstract: Resilience enhancing programmes are key to supporting people facing natural and man-induced shocks. International agencies, donors, NGOs, and governments adopted resilience as a framework for designing interventions. However, there is little evidence of the impact of these programs, especially in a fragile context. This paper evaluates the impact of a joint strategy in Somalia. Results show a positive and significant effect on a resilience construct. This paper contributes also to the literature of impact evaluation by using quasi-experimental (but solid) evidence, and by showing the effect of integrated assistance. This finding suggests investing in a diversified approach to enhance resilience.
