This module evaluates the participation of household members in various community groups, organizations or associations, and the benefits they derive from them.
Contribution to resilience
Participation in a group or association strengthens the resilience of farm households by consolidating social capital and self-help networks. It facilitates access to information, training, inputs or financing, while encouraging the sharing of best practices. Collective action also makes it easier to cope with crises by pooling efforts and boosting the ability to adapt to change.
