Programme Description

This report presents the key findings from the baseline study conducted in Jowhar and Balcad
districts as part of the Jowhar Off-stream Storage Program (JOSP). The program is currently
supported by four projects namely RESTORE, TRANSFORM, MAAREYANTA, and Youth-Act PBF. The
study aimed to produce pre-project or baseline resilience of agroecosystems and identify areas for
improvement to enhance smallholder farmers’ resilience to climate shocks. Adaptations were made
to the questionnaire to capture impact and outcome indicators for all projects under study, providing
a baseline for resilience levels across different modules.
