The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, together with its partner Concern Worldwide, utilized local engagement to develop a series of preliminary indicators for a baseline assessment of household resilience in coastal Bangladesh. The baseline assessment was in support of a project led by Concern Worldwide to strengthen coastal community resilience in Bagerhat district, Bangladesh.

With support from Concern Worldwide, the authors organized a series of participatory exercises with community members to identify key indicators to include in a first baseline assessment. This report presents the results of that assessment. Building on these results, the authors propose in the final chapter of this report a reduced set of indicators that can be usefully monitored to track progress toward household resilience over time (page 68).
