Situated between Mozambique and Madagascar, the Union of the Comoros is one of the world’s
poorest countries. Heavy dependence on agriculture, complicated by high population density
and a lack of governance has led to mismanagement of natural resources and land degradation.
Additionally, the coun...

The dynamics of systemic societal transformations are not well understood, and the extent to
which such transformations can be governed is contested. This research paper is the result of
a joint effort among a small group of researchers to identify pathways for transformation
towards sustainable ...
Climate change and variability are major challenges to rain-fed crop production in Africa.
This paper presents a report on a pilot project to test a concept for operationalizing weatherindex
crop insurance as a social adaptation to the climate change and variability problem in
the Upper West Regi...
