Lack of Resilience Index:Lack of Resilience represents the combination of susceptibility to impact and the relative inability to absorb, respond to, and recover from negative impactsthat do occur over the short term. Angola ranks 26 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.58. Congo ranks 33 out of 165 on the Lack ofResilience index with a score of 0.56. Gabon ranks 86 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.42. Congo, DRC ranks 3 out of 165 on theLack of Resilience index with a score of 0.68.

Angola ranks 26 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Population Pressures, Vulnerability Health Status and Infrastructure.

Congo ranks 33 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Clean Water Vulnerability, Infrastructure and Vulnerability Health Status.

Gabon ranks 86 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience Index. Based on the sub-component scores related to Vulnerability and Coping Capacity, the threethematic areas with the weakest relative scores are Population Pressures, Info Access Vulnerability and Governance.
