Adaptation strategies to reduce smallholder farmers’ vulnerability to climate variability and seasonality are needed given the frequency of extreme weather events predicted to increase during the next decades in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in West Africa. We explored the linkages between sel...

Linking agricultural adaptation strategies, food security and vulnerability: evidence from West Africa
West Africa is a very vulnerable part of the world to the impacts of climate change due to
a combination of exposure and low adaptive capacity. Climate change has induced an increase in
rainfall variability which in turn has affected the availability of water resources, ecosystem services
and agr...

Closing the Gap between Climate Information Producers and Users: Assessment of Needs and Uptake in Senegal
Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world. Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental goals in vulnerable countries. Experts have pro...

The climate-smart village approach: framework of an integrative strategy for scaling up adaptation options in agriculture
In the literature, a lot of information is available about climate change perceptions and impacts in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is limited attention in the region to emerging initiatives, technologies and policies that are tailored to building the adaptive capacity of agricultural systems...

Facing climate variability in sub-Saharan Africa: analysis of climate-smart agriculture opportunities to manage climate-related risks
The gender perspective of climate information use is not well studied although
necessary for developing gender-responsive climate information services (CIS). This study
determined how CIS use by men and women farmers may be influenced by their perceptions
about climate change (CC), farm activitie...
