Descripción
This document presents findings from comprehensive resilience surveys conducted between October and December 2024 across four regions in Namibia (Cunene Cuvelai, Etosha, and Kavango). Using FAO's SHARP+ methodology, the assessment evaluates smallholder farmers' climate resilience at the household level.The research was implemented as part of the Drylands Sustainable Landscapes Impact Program (DSL-IP), which works toward Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) across eleven countries in Africa and Central Asia.Key components include:- Detailed resilience scores across 21 modules spanning environmental, economic, social, and governance domains- Behavior change assessment identifying barriers and motivators affecting adoption of sustainable practices- Focus on key sustainable interventions, including millet and sorghum cultivation, sustainable charcoal production from invasive bush species, and implementation of sustainable land and forest management practicesThis assessment provides critical insights to guide the development of context relevant, resilient solutions to challenges faced in dryland ecosystems.
