Synopsis (short abstract) This document presents findings from comprehensive resilience surveys conducted in July 2024 across two districts in Botswana (Chobe and Tutume-Mosetse). 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 lablab cultivation, sustainable tourism, horticulture, utilization of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), and implementation of sustainable land and forest management practicesThis assessment provides critical insights to guide the development of effective resilient solutions to common 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.

    This document presents findings from comprehensive resilience surveys conducted in September 2025 across four districts in western Tanzania (Kaliua, Mlele, Sikonge, and Urambo). 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 forest beekeeping, pollinator-friendly crop diversification (black beans, groundnuts), and implementation of sustainable land and forest management practicesThis assessment provides critical insights to guide the development of resilient solutions to common challenges faced in dryland ecosystems.
