IFPRI produced five typology reports, one for each AR country, that use the harmonized ARBES data (Africa RISING Baseline Evaluation Surveys) to produce statistical typologies of the farmers in each project area. Each report describes the methodology used to derive the groups as well as the main characteristic of each of the obtained types. These results await further validation and testing from the research teams.
