The Stakeholder Approach to Risk-Informed and Evidence-based Decision-making (SHARED) methodology provides a comprehensive framework that bridges processes, tools, scientific and local knowledge to support decision making for resilience in formal and informal governance institutions in the drylands.

The SHARED approach includes four inter-related phases using comprehensive facilitation to support interaction with evidence, enhance co-learning, build long-term relationships and ensure that evidence can be critically interpreted, queried, and evaluated. This is further achieved through the ICRAF Geoscience Lab Resilience Diagnostic and Decision Support Tool (dashboard) and the SHARED Toolbox for Resilient Food Systems.
