Abstract

The Adaptation for Smallholders in Hilly Areas Project (ASHA) was designed to enhance climate resilience among vulnerable smallholder farmers through a combination of grants, training, and capacity-building initiatives. Central to its approach was the strengthening of local climate adaptation planning via Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPAs) and the promotion of climate-smart agriculture through farmer field schools. The project also supported the development of climate-resilient communal infrastructure and encouraged climate-adaptive, income-generating activities, such as vegetable cultivation, agroforestry and livestock management, leveraging both financial and in-kind contributions from participating communities. This impact assessment of ASHA was conducted in 2023 using a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative household and community-level surveys with qualitative interviews.
