Self-evaluation and Holistic assessment of climate resilience of farmers and pastoralists (SHARP)

The Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of climate Resilience of farmers and Pastoralists (SHARP) tool supports projects in improving the resilience of farmers and herders as to safeguard their way of life, preserve their local indigenous knowledge and improve the livelihoods of their communities. It fills a void in farm system resilience assessments carried out in using a holistic, integrated, inclusive and scientifically sound approach. The assessment therefore covers socioeconomic, environmental and agronomic aspects of the farming system and the household. In addition, information on household dietary diversity index and intra-household decision making process is also collected.
