Abstract

Emerging discourses present evidence from post-Soviet countries, suggesting that remittances may complement household resilience capacity in the face of climate change. This manuscript, using “COVID-19 Georgia High-Frequency Survey (GHFS)” data from the World Bank, aims to analyse the effect of remittance on household resilience capacity in Georgia. The measurement strategy employs the Resilience Index Measurement Analysis (RIMA) approach, as proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). RIMA measures Resilience Index Capacity (RCI) through available household adaptive options (pillars): Access to Basic Services (ABS), Adaptive Capacity (AC), Social Safety Nets (SSN), and Sensitivity (S). The results of the econometric model indicate that remittance has a positive impact on RCI, primarily through the ABS and AC pillars. Further policies in Georgia should consider the role of remittances in enhancing household resilience, ensuring that the negative consequences of shocks do not have long-lasting effects on household livelihoods.
