Vulnerability trade-offs and externalities of an ‘effective’ adaptation programme: why ass

Mar Moure's 2026 study triangulates interviews, focus groups, household surveys, and national datasets to capture perceptions of a climate adaptation programme. The data reveals a divergence between programme design and population perspectives, including short-term gains versus long-term risks and perceived negative spillovers for non-beneficiaries. This 2.9 MB collection includes TIF and DOCX files and is licensed for reuse under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trade-offs in adaptation effectiveness based on reported perceptions of risk, tolerance, and preferences.
• Studying the externalities of development programmes based on data from both beneficiaries and the wider community.
• Evaluating data system limitations for adaptation indicators based on the study's findings regarding national datasets.
• Modeling the risk of disadoption of practices based on data about livelihood preferences and uncertainty.

Strengths

• Data is multi-method, triangulating interviews, focus groups, surveys, and national datasets.
• The study captures perspectives from both programme beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, providing a comparative view.
• Files are openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 2.9 MB size suggests a small dataset, potentially limiting statistical analysis.
