“…A recent mapping on vulnerability and poverty in Africa listed Ethiopia as one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change with the least capacity to respond (Orindi et al 2006;Stige et al 2006). The country's economy heavily relies upon the agricultural sector, which is mostly rainfed.…”

“…Also, because maize is grown predominantly as a rainfed crop, increased rainfall variability from climate change (Hulme et al, 2001;Stige et al, 2006) will lead to greater losses due to drought and flooding and therefore frequent production and price variation (Jones and Thornton, 2003). The largest impact on consumer prices comes from relatively favourable production regions, such as areas with an average of 500-800 mm rainfall, where unexpected drought can significantly cut production.…”

“…Climatic drivers of rainfall and of agro-pastoral production are not uniform over the Sahel. The western part of the Sahel is influenced by the North Atlantic Oscillation, whereas the eastern part is influenced by the El Niño Southern Oscillation [54]. The study area is limited to the cropland and herbaceous covers according to GLC2000 (Global Land Cover 2000 [55]) and to the five main eco-regions of the Sahel [56] …”
