Definition
| Definition | This indicator measures the percentage of program participants adopting diversified/climate-resilient livelihood options. |
|---|---|
| Numerator | Number of individuals who have adopted diversified/climate-resilient livelihood options |
| Denominator | Total individuals/participants in the livelihood/climate program in the SC targeted geography |
Recommended Means of Verification
Measuring this indicator requires looking at baseline/midline/endline surveys and program records.
The exact methodology to measure this indicator will be project-specific, given the wide variety in livelihood options, but it should comply with the principle that only beneficiaries who have received support and are applying diversified /climate-resilient livelihood options should be counted.
Each beneficiary should be counted only once unless the same individual adopted more than one improved or new climate-resilient livelihood option.

Tools
Diversified / climate-resilient livelihood options should be included if these can demonstrate a positive change against questions below, i.e. all questions should be answered with “yes”:
1. Do diversified and/or climate-resilient livelihood options adopted by female/male beneficiaries respond to climate change?
2. Do local practices and solutions employed by the population effectively reduce or mitigate the impacts of climate change? A wide range of practices depend on the livelihood system.
Note: There should be a clear link between changes in climate (e.g., temperature rise, precipitation changes, occurrence or severity of extreme weather events, e.g., sea level rise) observed and/or projected in the project/targeted area, and how the choice of livelihood options is more adaptive than current livelihoods to these conditions
3. Do diversified and/or climate-resilient livelihood options adopted by male/female beneficiaries reduce the impact of climate-related shocks and stressors on beneficiaries’ livelihoods?
Note: This question focuses on the observed and anticipated adverse impact of climate-related shocks and stressors on beneficiaries’ livelihoods. Improved resilience could be achieved through a reduction in livelihood vulnerability and/or exposure to climate hazards and risks (e.g., loan and savings groups, digital savings, diversification of livelihood sources, disaster preparedness actions linked to livelihoods, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions protecting livelihoods). Improved resilience can also be achieved through a complete transformation of livelihoods, where current livelihood practices have become untenable due to climate change impacts.
Explanation of climate-resilience:
This indicator is also adopted from ICF’s KPI 4 Methodology: Number of people whose resilience has been improved as a result of ICF (September 2019) (publishing.service.gov.uk)
According to the 3As Resilience Model in climate (ref ICF), these are:
