    Capacity is not just money

    9 minNo file attached in the prototype

    A household with savings still fails to adapt if it has no information about the hazard or no access to the institutions that could help it. This lecture works through the non-financial capacities that predict recovery as reliably as income does, using two households with identical earnings and very different outcomes.

  2. Block 2 · text

    Institutions have capacity too

    A divisional secretariat's adaptive capacity - its staffing, its early-warning links, its access to contingency funds - shapes every household's outcome inside its boundary. An assessment that measures only households and never the institution around them is missing half the picture.
