摘要

由于缺乏正规社会安全网的充分支持,埃塞俄比亚的农村家庭制定了集体风险分担战略,以缓冲不利的生计冲击,从而建立其抵御能力。社会资本和基于网络的土著相互支持安排是埃塞俄比亚农村家庭几个世纪以来制度化和广泛实践的最重要战略,以支持家庭应对冲击。尽管如此,复原力研究和农村扶贫政策尚未充分认识到并接受社会资本作为解决贫困和脆弱性的工具。关于土著福利制度对埃塞俄比亚社会发展政策制定的影响的作用,缺乏强有力的政策和学术研究。利用民族志技术和简单的描述性统计,我们研究了奥罗米亚州Babille地区两个选定的保护区的土著相互支持系统,以及它们如何塑造农村家庭抵御生计冲击的复原力轨迹。我们发现,通过平滑消费冲击,相互支持实践在建立家庭应对弹性方面非常有效。然而,当冲击是系统性的或协变量的,当冲击持续时间较长,当一个家庭的人力或财政资本水平较低时,传统的应对机制往往失效。

Harnessing Social Capital for Resilience to Livelihood Shocks: Ethnographic Evidence of Indigenous Mutual Support Practices among Rural Households in Eastern Ethiopia
In the absence of adequate support from formal social safety nets, rural households in Ethiopia have developed collective risk-sharing strategies to buffer them against adverse livelihood shocks, thus building their resilience capacities. Social capital and network based indigenous mutual support arrangements are the most important strategies that are institutionalized and widely practiced among rural households for centuries in Ethiopia to support households to cope with shocks. Nonetheless, resilience research and rural poverty alleviation policies have yet to fully recognize and embrace social capital as a tool to tackle poverty and vulnerability. Robust policy and academic studies on the role of indigenous welfare system with implications for social development policy making in Ethiopia are lacking. Using ethnographic techniques and simple descriptive statistics, we studied indigenous mutual support systems and how they shape the resilience trajectories of rural households against livelihood shocks within two selected PAs of Babille district of Oromia region. We found that mutual support practices are very effective in building coping resilience of households by smoothing consumption shocks. However, the traditional coping mechanisms often fail when the shock is systemic or covariate, when shocks last longer, and when a household has low level of human or finical capital.
