Synopsis (short abstract) This document presents findings from comprehensive resilience surveys conducted between October and December 2024 across four regions in Namibia (Cunene Cuvelai, Etosha, and Kavango). Using FAO's SHARP+ methodology, the assessment evaluates smallholder farmers' climate resilience at the household level.The research was implemented as part of the Drylands Sustainable Landscapes Impact Program (DSL-IP), which works toward Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) across eleven countries in Africa and Central Asia.Key components include:- Detailed resilience scores across 21 modules spanning environmental, economic, social, and governance domains- Behavior change assessment identifying barriers and motivators affecting adoption of sustainable practices- Focus on key sustainable interventions, including millet and sorghum cultivation, sustainable charcoal production from invasive bush species, and implementation of sustainable land and forest management practicesThis assessment provides critical insights to guide the development of context relevant, resilient solutions to challenges faced in dryland ecosystems.

    Resilience 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.
