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 helps farmers and pastoralists self-assess and prioritize resilience aspects of their livelihoods in a participatory manner.
The survey is both paper and tablet based and assesses the resilience of farmers and pastoralists to climate change organized into governance, environmental, social, economic and agricultural practices using a combination of self-assessment and academic review of livelihood components. There are 54 questions in total of which 26 are mandatory to fully assess resilience. SHARP can be used both as a monitoring and evaluation tool, as well as a learning method integrated into agropastoral/ farmer field schools training curricula.
