| dc.description.abstract | The article identifies climate change adaptation response determinants and examines perceived adaptation successfulness among pastoral households in Borena zone of Southern Ethiopia. In this study a mixed research design was used. Different type of data was collected from 417 sample households selected using multistage sampling methods, key informants and focus group discussion participants. Descriptive statistics (e.g. mean, percentage) and econometrics analysis (e.g. multivariate probit model) were used to analyze quantitative data while content analysis was used for qualitative data. The study reveals that a combination of demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental factors influence the adoption of these strategies. The analysis identifies variables such as education level, credit association membership, access to extension services, and climate change training as consistently significant factors associated with multiple adaptation strategies. This suggests that knowledge, resource accessibility, and skills development play crucial roles in enabling households to implement effective adaptation measures. Additionally, the results highlight the significance of gender in shaping adaptation strategies. The study also finds notable associations between market distance, life experience in the area, and certain adaptation strategies, suggesting that proximity to markets and local knowledge impact the feasibility and effectiveness of specific adaptation measures. The findings provide valuable insights into the complex factors that shape food insecurity adaptation strategies. This understanding enables policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to develop targeted interventions, programs, and policies that enhance resilience and reduce food insecurity in vulnerable populations | |
