Weather index-based crop insurance is increasingly becoming important as a risk mitigation strategy that farmers may use to mitigate adverse climate shocks and natural disasters encountered during farming. While Europe, North America, Asia account for 20.1%, 55%, 19.5% of the total agricultural premium worldwide, respectively, Africa accounts only 0.5% world industry. One key reasons advanced against low index participation rate in failure involve farm households at initial conceptualization...
Abstract The precariousness of the rural population in Africa is often symbolized by lack potable and safe drinking water. This study investigates physico-chemical bacteriological characteristics 32 water samples with respect to WHO standards. were collected from wells, boreholes small supply systems (DWS) around township Bonkoukou (Niger). Water Quality Index (WQI) tool was used assess overall quality different parameters. Where pH acceptable, showed higher levels mineralization...
Food security is adversely affected by challenges posed changes in land use and cover (LULC). LULC change impacts ecosystem functions services, leading to migration of people, particularly rural dwellers. This paper uses multispectral satellite remote sensing, net data, household survey, stakeholders’ meetings, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), expert interviews yields estimated mass maize, rice, groundnut, cassava, yam assess the extent Niger, Kwara, Benue states North Central Region Nigeria...
Agricultural productivity is expected to decrease under changing climate conditions that correspond the stability of West African food systems. Although numerous studies have evaluated impacts variability on crop yields, many uncertainties are still associated with extremes as well rapid population growth and corresponding dietary lifestyle. Here, we present a supply demand analysis based relationship between change, production, in three sites from southwestern Burkina Faso Ghana. Climate...
The West African countries share a myriad of challenges, including environmental degradation, desertification, enhanced rainfall variability, unprecedented heat waves, floodings and declining agricultural productivity. accelerated climate change along with other global stressors like population growth rapid urbanization contributes to land chronic poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition.To address these the Climate Services for Risk Reduction in Africa (CS4RRA) was initiated by France Germany...
Abstract Competition between crops and livestock farming systems escalates due to changing land use patterns driven by climate change in the Sahel of West Africa's, particularly Volta Niger River basins. This study demonstrates practical implications sustainable intensification pathways under different realizations that illustrate synergies crop-livestock-climate nexus reducing negative impacts climatic extreme events Africa. Integrated crop-livestock experimental designs were conducted...
Background African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a major constraint to sustainable development of cattle farming in sub-Saharan Africa. The habitat the tsetse fly vector increasingly fragmented owing demographic pressure and shifts climate, which leads heterogeneous risk cyclical transmission both space time. In Burkina Faso Ghana, most important vectors are riverine species, namely Glossina palpalis gambiensis G. tachinoides, more resilient human-induced changes than savannah forest...
Cooking is the most energy-intensive activity in household sector. In developing countries, it accounts for about 90% of total domestic energy use. With this, knowledge its dynamics terms choice and use imperative. This study explored nexus between cooking Kaduna State, Northwestern Nigeria. Data were collected from 400 households with aid a structured questionnaire following multi-stage sampling approach. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze data multinomial logit regression model...
The main purpose of this paper is to estimate farmers’ preferences and their willingness pay (WTP) for ecosystem services derived from four agricultural water management (AWM) resource recovery reuse (RRR) intervention options in Burkina Faso, using a choice experiment (CE). These include; small infrastructure, drip irrigation, organic matter waste, treated wastewater. design decisions relating attribute selection, the level attributes, alternatives tasks were guided by literature, field...
Abstract This study investigated key environmental factors causing intervillage migration by farmers. Therefore, it used household data from surveys, semistructured interviews, life histories, and focus group discussions in southwestern Burkina Faso, West Africa. The results showed that 1) when referring to the experienced historical weather climate, farmers were aware of effects ongoing climate change; 2) soil degradation, land tenure insecurity, lack rainfall major drivers...
Innovative financing arrangements such as index-base crop insurance (IBCI) schemes are increasingly becoming popular in West Africa for managing catastrophic agricultural risks. Recently, an IBCI pilot project was launched Burkina Faso by PlaNet Guarantee1. However, similar to many existing the region, enrolment rate is still very low. One possible explanation this based on fact that remote sensing data used basis design. Although use of appealing respect, it has several limitations. major...
Surface observations provide ground evidence of climate change to support the scientific guidance paving way better adaptation and mitigation actions. The West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) has designed a multi-stakeholder initiative rescue deteriorated near-surface weather, hydrological equipment countries. main goal for this framework was monitor collect long term high-quality records essential variables in research, education, capacity...
Abstract Rising rates of urbanisation in Africa, without attendant improvements critical infrastructure, have occasioned gaps the provision basic services cities across continent. Different systems and scales service delivery — decentralised centralised, public private coexist often compete urban spaces but rarely connect ways that ensure needs poorest are met. Our paper interrogates value transdisciplinary research for bringing actors these together to co-produce knowledge inclusive...
In support of West Africa's potential energy transition under climate change, an international team scientists and a wide range local stakeholders in Ghana Burkina Faso jointly assessed different mitigation adaptation pathways for water supply demand, including their implications achieving SDGs, transdisciplinary approach. They iteratively co-developed future scenarios based on i) stakeholder knowledge priorities, ii) countries' national plans, iii) simulations with set complementary models....
This article describes two datasets generated from various sources in south western Burkina Faso to identify the key climate and environmental drivers that cause farmers migrate. The survey sampling is random but reasoned rational. first dataset 367 farm households contains data on farmers' perception of change risks or hazards, their impacts farmland productivity households' risk management strategies. second 58 agricultural practices, changes, migration. Three supplemental Excel sheets...
