This new guidance document provides updated guidelines and tools for development practitioners and researchers on the features and use of SHARP+, describing the tool as it is today. This document does not replace the previous “Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of [...]

The Paris Agreement, in particular through the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), requires countries to report on their efforts to adapt to climate change. The Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of climate Resilience of farmers and Pastoralists (SHARP) tool makes it possible [...]

The study aims to provide evidence and data on the technical potential (ecological and socio-economic) and the challenges and constraints to be considered when scaling up an agroecological approach to combat the impacts of climate change. In this study, SHARP was used [...]

FAO, in collaboration with IFAD and national governments, has carried out a survey in Mali to assess their resilience to climate change using the SHARP tool under the project "Adapting Irrigation to Climate Change"

FAO, in collaboration with IFAD and national governments, has carried out a survey in Niger to assess their resilience to climate change using the SHARP tool under the project "Adapting Irrigation to Climate Change"

FAO, in collaboration with IFAD and national governments, has carried out a survey in Côte d’Ivoire to assess their resilience to climate change using the SHARP tool under the project "Adapting Irrigation to Climate Change"

FAO, in collaboration with IFAD and national governments, has carried out a survey in Gambia to assess their resilience to climate change using the SHARP tool under the project "Adapting Irrigation to Climate Change"

In 2017, based on lessons learned, SHARP underwent a technical review to increase its robustness. The SHARP App was also upgraded to increase its functionality.  As a result, the new SHARP+ allows a more reliable assessment of resilience which is [...]

Existing resilience assessment tools focus mostly on agronomic and environmental aspects. SHARP is a holistic assessment of household resilience based on people’s priorities and knowledge. SHARP uses a clear resilience framework, which enables meaningful and comparable analyses, in order is [...]

Climate change poses serious threats to agriculture. As a primary staple crop and major contributor to agriculturally derived greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, rice systems are of particular significance to building climate resilience. We report on a participatory assessment of climate [...]
