I looked into the available measurements of livelihood resilience, some use the indicator based approach to get an index which consists of livelihood capacities such as adaptive, absorptive and transformative while others apply both the direct and indirect ways of approaching livelihood resilience making livelihood resilience capacities five (adaptive, absorptive, transformative, anticipatory and mitigation). For example, RIMA-II requires panel data on the indicators to be used for resilience capacities. Hence, any approach to fit a cross sectional data collected among smallhodler farmers in the Ethiopian context.

I would suggest to follow the process cum outcome based approach (Article Measuring disaster-resilient communities: a case study of co...
). Households and community/system should follow certain processes (steps or activities) and achieve a minimum outputs in order to sustain the minimum level of livelihoods. The minimum level could be defined in terms of critical level of resilience that depends on the particular locality, which can be measured mathematically.
Thank you all for the scholarly feedback and suggested references.
We have developed a technique to measure resilience which is published in Environmental Science and Policy. You can go through the link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2018.02.012
