This project, “Institutional Networks and Self-organized Adaptation”, examines the role of rural institutions and public support systems in shaping responses to shocks and stressors in rural India & Nepal during 2020-21. We include stressors related to COVID-19, climate, health, and other challenges identified by rural households.

The data includes:

- Village information on demographics, infrastructure, and natural resources
- Village level institutions involved in livelihood support and adaptive responses
- Networks of interaction between these institutions
- Household information on demographics, livelihoods, interaction with institutions, shocks & stressors, and responses to these stressors

Household level data includes high-frequency repeat visits (approximately monthly) to gather detailed information about stressors and responses over the calendar year.

This dataset contains 480 households nested within 16 local governmental units in the Himalayan region. This includes 8 villages in the Kangra District of India’s northern state of Himachal Pradesh and the Dhulikhel and Ramechhap Districts of east central Nepal.

Through repeated visits during the calendar year, we have captured 8694 self-observed shocks and stressors, i.e. "threats" (3550 in India & 5144 in Nepal), and 5859 responses to cope or adapt to these threats (2553 in India, 3306 in Nepal). Visa mindre..

Urvalsmetod

Sannolikhetsurval: obundet slumpmässigt urval

Villages were selected purposefully to include localities that survey staff could access during the pandemic, at a time when travel was tightly restricted. Most of our survey staff were living in rural villages at the time of the survey, and we therefore selected their home villages. Within each villages, we selected 30 households randomly from the government records to administer household surveys.
