Synopsis (short abstract) This factsheet presents key findings from surveys conducted in Mangochi, Ntcheu, and Balaka between November and December 2023, using the Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of Climate Resilience of Farmers and Pastoralists (SHARP+) methodology—a tool developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to assess the resilience of smallholder farmers at the household level. Implemented in Malawi as part of the Drylands Sustainable Landscapes Impact Program (DSL-IP), this assessment contributes to achieving Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) across eleven countries in Africa and Central Asia by addressing common challenges through innovative, income-generating solutions.The document provides an overview of resilience scores across 21 key modules, covering environmental, economic, social, and governance domaines. It also explores insights from the behaviour change assessment, identifying barriers and motivators that influence the adoption of targeted sustainable practices within the project landcape —including the cultivation of pigeon pea, intercropping, and the utilization of pea stems as fuel material, along with broader sustainable land and forest management practices.
