FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ADOPTION OF CLIMATE RESILIENCE TECHNOLOGIES IN TILLABÉRY STATE OF NIGER

Abstract

Several climate change adaptation strategies have been proposed and disseminated to help rural farmers and herdsmen to build and reinforce their resilience capacity building. However, little is relatively known how socioeconomic factors affect rural farmers’ resilience capacity building strategies. Data were randomly collected from 978 rural household heads located in the northern limit of the agro-pastoral zone, while multinomial logistic regression was used to model the impact of socio-economic characteristics on farmers and herdsmen resilience capacity building. Results reveal that herd rebuilding, targeted distribution, support for staple crop production, multiple purpose land uses and food for work are respectively 4.886, 3.321 and 2.397, 0.956 and 0.884 times less likely to be chosen than cash for work.
