Frequent droughts in sub-Saharan Africa imply water stress for rainfed agriculture and, ultimately, food insecurity, underlining the region’s vulnerability to climate change. Yet, in the maize-growing areas, farmers have been given new drought-coping options following the release and availability of drought-tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs). These varieties are being disseminated through the National Agricultural Research and Extension Systems in collaboration with seed companies; however,...

The context for climate services in Africa is significantly different from that of developed countries, in some part due to the disproportionate impacts of climate variability already being experienced on the African continent. One approach to deepening contextual knowledge for climate services is through an understanding of climate change risk perceptions, because they have been shown to be strong drivers of pro-environmental behaviour. Climate change risk perceptions in Africa are likely...

This study aims to further our understanding of effective interventions by exploring participants’ responses to both interventions. Exploratory analyses were conducted in a sample of low-income African Americans who had attempted suicide (n = 82) to...

This study estimated the economic value of agricultural climate services for strengthening the resilience of smallholder farmers to climate variability and risks in Ethiopia. Using a choice experiment approach, the study introduced a hypothetical package of improved climate services to 600 randomly selected smallholder farmers in three districts across three different agro-ecological zones in the Oromia Regional State. A generalized multinomial logit (G-MNL) model was used to estimate...
