About the Event

In a joint webinar organized by REAL and the Sahel Collaboration & Communication Activity (SCC), panelists from TANGO International and USAID presented key findings from the RISE I (Resilience in the Sahel Enhanced) recurrent monitoring surveys (RMS). Around 90 resilience practitioners, representing both implementing organizations and USAID Mission and headquarters staff attended the webinar. The RMS followed a group of RISE I households over five rounds spaced two months apart from August 2018 through April 2019 in both Niger and Burkina Faso to evaluate how their wellbeing and ability to cope and recover from shocks evolved overtime.

The event was a unique opportunity for participants to reflect on the study findings and engage with the lead researchers on this study.

The session was held in English with an option for simultaneous interpretation in French.
