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

SHARP is a tool designed to assess the resilience of farmer and pastoralist households to climate change. Following a survey-based evaluation of households’ climate resilience (Phase 1), gaps and weaknesses in the response of farmers and institutions to climate variability are analyzed (Phase 2). Finally, information gathered through the first two phases is integrated with broader-level climatic data, with the aim of assisting farmers in prioritizing actions to build the resilience of their agro-ecosystems – as well as orienting institutions towards the best possible policy approaches in order to strengthen climate resilience (Phase 3).
