27(3), Dec, 2025: p.935-956 The purpose of this paper is twofold: to determine who is more resilient, male or female, and to analyze the indicators of resilience for each gender. Based on data from a sample of 617 households surveyed in Central Cameroon and analyzed by the resilience index measurement and analysis II model, we find that women are less resilient than men. The low level of resilience is explained by the indicators of access to basic services and social safety net pillars. To improve women’s resilience, the focus could be on the assets and adaptive capacity pillars. These include policies to improve the acquisition of durable goods and agricultural inputs, training of women in agricultural adaptation techniques.- Reproduced https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40847-025-00456-7 Resilience, Farm household, Food security, Gender, RIMA II Journal of Social and Economic Development 260421
