The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

Uno de los primeros productos que desarrolló AQUASTAT, en sus inicios en 1994, fue la metodología para la evaluación de recursos hídricos. Aunque ha sido muy útil, durante los 20 años que AQUASTAT ha usado esta metodología han aparecido algunos fallos y en ocasiones ha resultado ser demasiado complicada. Cada vez era más evidente que había que poner solución a algunos de los principales problemas. En consecuencia, en marzo de 2015 se implementaron algunos cambios en AQUASTAT que se resumen en este artículo. .

This publication presents the scientific background of the SHARP tool. The Self‑evaluation and Holistic Assessment of climate Resilience of farmers and Pastoralists (SHARP) tool was developed over two years with the participation of over 150 academics, practitioners and civil society. SHARP was also field tested in Angola, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal and Uganda with farmers and pastoralists. It has been recognized that there is a need to both provide a rigorous assessment of the resilience of farmers and pastoralists, while also incorporating the views and needs of those people.
