Uptake of Climate-Smart Agriculture in West Africa: What can we learn from climate-smart villages of Ghana, Mali and Niger?

| description | In West Africa, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate
Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) has been
working since 2011 with various local partners to develop
Climate-Smart villages (CSV) through participatory action
research (PAR) at pilot sites in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali,
Niger and Senegal. Various CSA technologies and practices
have been identified and tested in these CSVs. Some
of these technologies and practices include: improved varieties
of crops, soil and water conservation techniques
(e.g. Zaï, half-moon, tie ridging), tree planting (agroforestry),
farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR), integrated
soil fertility management techniques (micro-dosing,
use of organic manure /compost, crop association), etc. In
West Africa, adoption of agricultural innovations are
thought to be constrained by several socioeconomic, institutional,
infrastructural, biophysical and political factors.
Therefore from the perspective of scaling up proven CSA
technologies and practices at the CSVs, it is crucial to understand
the determinants of their adoption. |
