Abstract

An ongoing and global agenda is the food security policy debate in rural Ethiopia of households to enhance resilience at the individual and household level for tackling food insecurity. Therefore, this study investigated determinants of household resilience to food insecurity in rural dwellers of Mekiet District. A cross-sectional research design was conducted in two agro ecological zones of the Mekiet district, lowland, and midland, involving 228 respondents. The study employed a quantitative and qualitative approach, with multi-stage sampling techniques results employed to select sample households by using two-stage factor analysis. The result from factor analysis using the RIMA approach showed that the latent variables of adaptive capacity, asset, and social safety net have a positive value of (0.76), (0.51), and (0.77), respectively, and in the contrast, access to essential services has a negative load of (-0.61), and all variables were found to be statistically significant. All those loads were significant, with an absolute value of factor loadings greater than 0.364, which is recommended for a sample size of 200 and above. Those variables were also highly correlated with resilience capacity. The study recommended that resilience programs should be implemented at district, community, and household levels to enhance resilience to food insecurity.

家庭抵御粮食不安全的决定因素:使用 RIMA 方法分析埃塞俄比亚北部农村地区的情况
埃塞俄比亚农村家庭的粮食安全政策辩论是一项持续的全球性议程,目的是提高个人和家庭层面的复原力,以应对粮食不安全问题。因此,本研究调查了 Mekiet 区农村居民家庭抵御粮食不安全的决定因素。研究采用横断面研究设计,在梅基特区的两个农业生态区(低地和中地)进行,共有 228 名受访者参与。研究采用了定量和定性相结合的方法,使用多阶段抽样技术,通过两阶段因子分析来选择样本家庭。采用 RIMA 方法进行因子分析的结果显示,适应能力、资产和社会安全网这三个潜变量的正值分别为(0.76)、(0.51)和(0.77),与之相反,获得基本服务的负载为负值(-0.61),且所有变量均具有统计意义。所有这些载荷都很重要,因子载荷的绝对值都大于 0.364,这是对 200 个及以上样本量的建议。这些变量也与复原能力高度相关。研究建议,应在地区、社区和家庭层面实施复原力计划,以提高应对粮食不安全的复原力。
