In order to establish the viability of a Climate Resilient Exemplar Landscape (CREL) in Andhra Pradesh World Agroforestry (ICRAF) specialised stakeholder engagement unit, the SHARED Decision Hub, and its methodology for evidence-based decision-making engagement, was utilised. The SHARED (Stakeholder Approach to Risk Informed and Evidence-based Decision-making) methodology provides a comprehensive framework, tailored to specific decision contexts, to bring together processes, evidence, and tools, and shift the decision paradigm towards more inclusive, inter-sectoral and inter-institutional integration to tackle complex decisions and to achieve desired outcomes. The SHARED approach includes four inter-related phases using comprehensive facilitation to support interaction with evidence, enhance co-learning, building long-term relationships and ensure that evidence can be critically interpreted, queried, and evaluated. This approach ensures cohesive communication across multiple institutions, political levels and knowledge systems to build capacity and the evidence base as a continuously linked process, within the same development outcome pathway.
