Dear Colleague,

IWMI and ILRI are jointly conducting a study on Perceptions of Sustainability across various stakeholders. The study is conducted at two levels. At the farmer/field level, where the questions focus on Household Visioning and their Perceptions of Sustainability using Cognitive interviewing. At the Researcher and Partner level we are using the Delphi method to collect various indicators and views on sustainability. The major objective of the study is to identify Sustainability Indicators that can be monitored and evaluated vis a vis our interventions within the project.

As a professional who works on sustainability development issues, we request you to fill in the following short survey with your views on the questions relating to sustainability.

Kind regards,
Valentine Gandhi
