This handout provides an overview of the Measuring Resilience in Malawi (MIRA) project, which has devised a data collection and analysis scheme to measure and predict resilience among households prone to food insecurity one to two months out. Data prediction is achieved with machine learning. The goal is to be more proactive in identifying who is the most food insecure and respond in advance.
