Abstract

This paper analyzes the adaptation mechanisms employed by smallholder farmers in Côte d'Ivoire in response to climate change. Using data from the World Bank’s CGAP survey (2016) and applying the Heckman’s probit model with sample selection, the study accounts for farmers' perception of climate change and its impact on adaptation strategies. The findings show that perception is a key factor in adopting climate-smart strategies, with access to agricultural information, cooperative membership, insurance, gender, education, and income levels being decisive variables. The study recommends policies that enhance advisory support, promote cooperatives, and ensure gender equality in accessing productive resources. These measures are essential for strengthening the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers in Côte d'Ivoire.
