Report on Prioritization within the TNA Process for Adaptation 01/12/2025
Summary :
The report “Report on Prioritization within the EBT Process for Adaptation in Agriculture and Water Resources, Republic of Chad” examines priority climate-adaptation measures for Chad in the agriculture and water sectors. It is part of the EBT (Technology Needs Assessment) process to identify, prioritize and plan technologies suitable for climate change impacts. The document highlights structural constraints — lack of financial resources, limited institutional capacity, land-tenure barriers, insufficient information and awareness — that hinder technology deployment. It proposes an enabling framework to overcome these barriers, including strengthening relevant institutions, easing land-tenure procedures, implementing Information-Education-Communication (IEC) campaigns, and facilitating access to financing mechanisms. The goal is to enhance the resilience of agricultural systems and water-resource management against climate hazards.

Cameroon: Calming Water-Related Struggles in the Far North 07/10/2025
Summary :
The article “Cameroon: Calming Water-Related Struggles in the Far North” (International Crisis Group, April 2024) examines how climate change, recurrent droughts, and demographic pressure intensify tensions among communities (herders, fishermen, farmers) in Cameroon’s Far North region. In 2021, several deadly clashes occurred over contested water access points. The report calls for stronger local water governance mechanisms, promotion of co-management agreements, investment in water infrastructure, and improved intercommunity dialogue. It emphasizes the need for an inclusive approach that addresses climate vulnerabilities and social inequalities to prevent escalating violence.

Climate adaptation of millet and sorghum varieties in North-Eastern Senegal 02/09/2025
Summary :
The article “Climate adaptation of millet and sorghum varieties in North‑Eastern Senegal: cross‑referencing rainfall, thermal and phenological parameters” evaluates the performance of several millet (Souna 3, ICTP 8203, GB 8735, Gawane, Chakti) and sorghum (CE 180‑33, Payenne, Golobé) varieties under local climatic constraints—rainfall deficits and thermal stress—in three study zones: Podor, Matam, and Linguère. Analysis of long-term precipitation and temperature data shows a clear decline in rainfall since the 1970s alongside increased thermal constraints. Millet Chakti and ICTP 8203 emerge as notably adapted to eastern and western areas, with suitability above 80% during the periods studied, whereas none of the varieties adapts well to the northern zone. Farmers also point to livestock roaming, bird pests, and parasitic infestations as contributing to reduced yields. The study emphasizes the urgent need to promote better-adapted varieties and enhance crop protection measures.

25 million Nigerians exposed to a high risk of food insecurity in 2023 19/11/2025
Summary :
Nearly 25 million Nigerians – including some 6 million children under five – are at high risk of facing severe food insecurity between June and August 2023 unless urgent measures are taken. According to the October 2022 Cadre Harmonisé, this represents a significant increase from the 17 million people already threatened. The main drivers include ongoing armed conflicts (notably in the northeast), climate change, inflation and rising food prices. Extensive floods in the 2022 rainy season damaged more than 676,000 ha of farmland, further undermining food access. In the states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY), and in the north-west region (Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto), displaced and returning populations are particularly vulnerable. The article calls for immediate support to prevent a dramatic worsening of hunger.
