Questionnaire data to research small-scale farmers' information sharing for adapting to climate change in Mozambique (2019-2020)

Data collected from individual questionnaires with local communities of 4 districts of Mozambique in November 2019 and July 2020. It contains as well data from nine individual questionnaires to institutions (government and NGOs) working with local communities for their development.

Data are replies from interviews containing open and closed questions about a) climate change adaptation options necessary for Mozambican small scale farmers, about b) the most used and preferred information sources of farmers, about c) the main barriers for a better exchange of information, and about d) proposals for improving it. The questionnaire can be consulted in Appendix A (in English and Portuguese). The open questions had the purpose to understand the causes and explanations about the themes presented. The closed questions followed a 0-5 likert scale approach, where 5 meant a very important factor and 0 non important one. This format was pursued for developing statistical analysis and comparison between the different types of participants. We used the same questions and format for interviewing farmers and stakeholders, although the questionnaire for farmers included also personal aspects like gender, age, and education.
