At present, no clear consensus exists on how to assess resilience interventions in the field. In this paper we propose to measure the impact of the ECOFISH project, the objective of which was to strengthen the resilience of local fishing communities affected by recurrent crises in Bangladesh. The evaluation was based on a difference-in-difference (DiD) framework. The DiD analysis indicates that households who benefited from ECOFISH have a higher propensity to adopt positive responses than non-beneficiaries when hit by a shock. Those beneficiaries also report a statistically higher recovery rate (resilience). The analysis indicates however that the project did not manage to reduce the propensity of households to engage in detrimental coping strategies and that the long-term food and nutritional security of the beneficiaries has not yet visibly improved compared to the control group. Those different results are discussed in the light of the wider literature on resilience evaluation.

目前，关于如何评估该领域的弹性干预措施尚无明确共识。在本文中，我们建议评估ECOFISH项目的影响，其目的是增强受孟加拉国经常性危机影响的当地捕鱼社区的复原力。评估基于差异差异（DiD）框架。DiD分析表明，受益于ECOFISH的家庭在遭受冲击时比非受益者更有可能采取积极的应对措施。这些受益人还报告了统计学上更高的恢复率（复原力）。然而，分析表明，该项目未能降低家庭采取有害应对策略的倾向，与对照组相比，受益者的长期粮食和营养安全状况尚未得到明显改善。这些不同的结果将根据有关弹性评估的更广泛的文献进行讨论。
