This research work focused on the thorny problem of the representation of rainfall over West Africa and particularly in the Gulf of Guinea and its surroundings by Regional Climate Models (RCMs). The first part of the ...

In this study, daily and monthly rainfall data from 167 and 254 stations, respectively, across West Africa with at least 80% data availability for the 31-year period 1980-2010 and the gridded African Rainfall Climatology- ...

The Volta Basin is one of the vital water resources in West African region. Climate variability and change pose serious consequences on water availability in the basin, as a result of its climate-sensitive nature. Therefore, ...

The study investigated the influence of agri-silviculture on the projected future climate in West Africa using regional climate model (RegCM4). The performance of the model in the representation of surface processes over ...

In this study, we analysed trends of daily precipitation-based indices in the ensembles of Global and Regional Climate Models (GCMs and RCMs) for historical and future climate projection. The specific objectives of the ...

Drought is a threat to food security and water availability in West Africa. As part of efforts to improve drought early warning systems, this study investigates the characteristics of West African droughts, evaluates the ...

In semi-arid West Africa, there is growing concern about the potential impacts of climate change and variability on the productivity of agricultural crops and hence food security. This region is highly vulnerable to variable ...

This study aims to investigate the present production and marketing systems of vegetables production in the Niayes so as to analyze the potential of organic farming to enhance framers’ productivity and to mitigate climate ...

African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a climate sensitive animal disease that is a major obstacle to sustainable development of livestock husbandry and agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. ...

This study has two main objectives. The first main objective is to analyse the role of collective action and other factors on farmers’ adaptive behaviour. In addition to determining the impact of collective action on the ...
