Drought Impacts on the Crop Sector and Adaptation Options in Burkina Faso: A Gender-Focused Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

Abstract: The crop sector in Burkina Faso has been facing recurrent droughts since 1970. This study analyzes the impacts of droughts and adaptation options such as the use of irrigation capacity development methods, integrated soil management and drought-tolerant crop varieties on the crop sector. Indeed, we focus on the consequences of agricultural droughts on economic growth and employment and on the gender dimension of household poverty. Using a gendered dynamic computable general equilibrium model linked to a micros… Show more

“…Further studies could examine the impacts of heatwaves, droughts, and strong winds in Burkina Faso with corresponding indices. Indeed, heatwaves, droughts, and strong winds occur frequently and have significant impacts on human health and crops (Sawadogo, 2022;Sorgho et al, 2021b;Visser et al, 2003).…”

“…Nafissatou et al [11] used the bulk rice husk available in Burkina Faso [14] to stabilize the earth plaster. The result show that the apparent density, linear shrinkage, compressive strength, and abrasion resistance of the specimens decrease respectively from 1.88 g/cm 3 to 1.07 g/cm 3 , 4.52% to 0.83%, 3.88 MPa to 0.82 MPa, and 0.21 cm 2 /g to 2.84 cm 2 /g with increasing RH content from 0% to 67%.…”
