Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetResilience and behaviour change assessment in Malawi in the districts of Mangochi, Ntcheu and Balaka 2025
Also available in:
No results found.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. -

FAO Programme Review 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.FAO Zimbabwe is implementing diverse initiatives across the agriculture sector as a contribution to FAO’s Resilience Strategy Southern Africa. The initiatives include taking a proactive approach to support timely information use in the agricultural and food security sector. This not only enables better hazard detection but also enhances the sector's overall resilience in responding to emerging challenges. The programme includes interventions that establish robust frameworks for anticipatory action coordination as well as early warning surveillance systems. This multi-actor, multi-sectoral approach reduces hazard impact on humanitarian sectors, showcasing the importance of collaborative efforts in resilience-building. In anticipation of the predicted El Niño-induced Drought FAO has played a leading role in advocating for anticipatory action and integrated sectoral interventions of food security, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Health) and nutrition increasing resilience by protecting smallholder farmers' livelihoods, it stands as a testament to international cooperation in addressing climate-related challenges. FAO is also coordinating efforts contributing towards sustainable food systems while emphasizing sustainability and inclusivity as it aligns with Zimbabwe's commitment to building resilient and robust food systems. By enhancing ecosystem resilience, it addresses livelihoods by providing sustainable solutions to agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Initiatives focus on resilient recovery through livelihood opportunities and the implementation of Climate Smart Agriculture. FAO in Zimbabwe is promoting community participation, gender mainstreaming, and ensuring compliance with international standards. In partnership with other United Nations agencies, FAO in Zimbabwe is contributing towards enhanced resilience for vulnerable households by implementing interventions that address economic and climate-induced shocks and stresses. Improving seed and fertilizer availability to supporting policy reforms in order to address fundamental aspects of food production, ensuring a resilient and sustainable agricultural landscape has been one of the focus areas of the collaboration between FAO and the government of Zimbabwe.In Zimbabwe, partner funding to FAO's resilience building initiatives has been instrumental in strengthening the various resilience dimensions, including preventive, anticipatory, absorptive, adaptive, and transformational capacities. By focusing on different aspects of resilience, FAO seeks to empower local communities, improve food security, and foster sustainable development in the face of complex challenges due to climate change and economic crisis. This document explores FAO's contributions to enhancing resilience capacities in Zimbabwe, shedding light on the organization's multifaceted approach and its impact on vulnerable populations.
