MAPPR

MAPPR

MAPPR provides easy access to over one hundred layers of spatially-explicit data for sub-Saharan Africa. Use MAPPR to “drill through” and extract information from fine-resolution data layers (each layer holds ~300,000 10km x 10km grid cells covering the sub-Saharan African region).

Crop Response Tool

This is a selection of management input scenarios and simulated crop responses for maize, rice, sorghum, wheat, groundnut, soybean, bean, cassava, potato, and yams.

What Is the Irrigation Potential for Africa? A Combined Biophysical and Socioeconomic Approach

Climate Risk Management Through Sustainable Land Management in Sub-Saharan Africa

Empirical evidence has shown that farmers can adapt to climate change by using sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices that provide local mitigation benefits, reducing or offsetting the negative effects of climate change at the level of the plot, farm, or even landscape. However, adaptation to climate change using SLWM practices in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains low. This study was conducted to examine the impact of government policies on adaptation to climate change.

What is the Irrigation Potential for Africa? A Combined Biophysical and Socioeconomic Approach

Although irrigation in Africa has the potential to boost agricultural productivities by at least 50 percent, food production on the continent is almost entirely rainfed.
