ScalA-PB is an innovative sustainable impact assessment (SIA) tool that analyzes how projects, programs, practices or policies affect the economic, social and environmental aspects of agricultural systems. This tool was designed by the ZALF Institute in collaboration with the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, and with support from the CGIAR Initiatives AgriLAC Resiliente and Low-Emission Food Systems (Mitigate+). ScalA-PB seeks to empower local stakeholders with key information to make informed decisions and promote more resilient and sustainable environments.
