The primary objective of the project is to enhance IFAD ASAP stakeholder access to high quality data and diagnostic evidence on ecosystem health and household resilience, as well as the capacity to use such data and evidence to strengthen the design, monitoring, and ongoing refinement of programme interventions and investments.

The project will work in five countries in East and southern Africa:

  1. Kenya
  2. Malawi
  3. Lesotho
  4. Swaziland
  5. Uganda

To foster the innovation, ownership and consensus required, the project will use the Stakeholder Approach to Risk-informed and Evidence-based Decision-making (SHARED) to shape and embed evidence into inclusive negotiation and decisionmaking processes. SHARED is a comprehensive framework tailored to specific decision needs; it brings together processes, evidence and tools to shift the decision paradigm towards more inclusive, inter-sectoral and inter-institutional integration to tackle complex decisions and achieve desired outcomes.
