摘要

Ethiopia faces persistent food insecurity problems due to drought, conflict, economic instability, and climate change. This study systematically reviews building household resilience as key to food security. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a total of 89 records published between 2012 and 2024 were included in the review. Of these, 45 peer-reviewed journal articles constituted the core evidence base for thematic analysis, while the remaining 44 records comprised supporting sources. Two dominant resilience frameworks guided the synthesis: the Resilience Index Measurement Analysis, which emphasizes access to basic services, adaptive capacity, assets, and social safety nets; and the Technical Assistance to Non-Governmental Organizations approach, which includes absorptive, adaptive, and transformative capacities. Findings show that improved access to credit, markets, and healthcare, along with asset accumulation and livelihood diversification, significantly enhances household resilience. Adaptive capacity, through education, crop diversification, and livestock ownership, emerge as a central determinant of food security. Social safety nets provide essential short-term support but remain limited in fostering long-term resilience. It recommends that policymakers and development actors prioritize resilience-centered interventions that address structural vulnerabilities, enabling Ethiopian households to withstand and recover from recurrent shocks while securing long-term food security.
