Le Projet d'Appui à la Résilience Climatique pour un Développement Agricole Durable (PARC-DAD) au Niger est-il suffisamment climato-intelligent ? Résultats des analyses participatives des projets terrain du PARC-DAD au Niger
Climate change impacts on agriculture have become evident, and threaten the achievement of global food security. On the other hand, the agricultural sector itself is a cause of climate change, and if actions are not taken, the sector might impede the achievement of global climate goals. Science-p...

Facilitating Change for Climate-Smart Agriculture through Science-Policy Engagement
The contribution of the agricultural sector to Ghana's economy has been dwindling in relative terms from a high of 39 per cent in 1990s to about 21 per cent in 2014 (ISSER, 2015). This reduction to the sector’s GDP notwithstanding, sector continues to play a
major role in the country’s socio-econ...

Adaptation Processes in Agriculture and Food Security: Insights from Evaluating Behavioral Changes in West Africa
Debates around the design and content of climate change adaptation policies are shaped, in part, by the power and influence of actors within an adaptation regime. This paper applies a power-mapping technique, Multilevel Stakeholder Influence Mapping (MSIM), to stakeholders in Ghana's agricultural...

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...

Science–policy interfaces are critical in shaping agricultural and environmental governance.
However, connecting science with policy has always been a challenge for both scientists and
policymakers. In Ghana, Mali and Senegal, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change,
