"Weather variability and food insecurity as driving forces\r\nfor out-migration, 1992-2016: a study from rural Burkina Faso"^^ . "Climate variability is a common phenomenon experienced world-wide. These impacts are more \r\nperceptible in sub-Saharan Africa. In Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in Western Africa, about \r\n80% of the population depend on their own crops for living. As a result, the Burkinabè population \r\nhas adopted a variety of adaptation strategies, including migration with the goal of finding \r\nalternative best conditions of life elsewhere. The current thesis determines the relationship \r\nbetween climate change, food insecurity and migration for the first time in the Nouna Health and \r\nDemographic Surveillance System which covers about 100,000 inhabitants in rural Burkina Faso. \r\nMy central hypothesis is that an increase in both climate variability and food insecurity leads to a \r\nrising level of migration in rural Burkina Faso. \r\nTo characterize climate variability in the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System \r\narea, I used weather data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Burkina \r\nFaso, and the Burkina National Meteorological Agency data, as well as De Longueville and \r\nSivakumar indicators. In terms of analyses, I draw on quantitative methods most used in population \r\nhealth and epidemiology. Specifically, I proceeded in the following three steps. First, event history \r\nanalysis methods were employed to compute rates and proportions of migration for the population \r\nin the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System area in Burkina Faso. Second, Cox \r\nproportional-hazards models were used for counting data to identify the link between rainfall \r\nvariation and emigration. Third, I used logistic regression models to determine the link between \r\nhousehold food insecurity and emigration in the study area. I assessed heterogeneity in the \r\nrelationship by socio-demographic factors. \r\nThe study found that the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System area is a very \r\ndynamic zone with regard to population movement with a general migration balance of -2.2 ‰ \r\nover the period of the study. The study villages showed different levels of migration by age. \r\nWomen and the younger population (10-34years) were more likely to migrate compared to men \r\n91 \r\nand other age groups. Internal migration, mainly between villages, occurred more often than \r\ninternational migration. The weather data showed that the study region is perceptible to climate \r\nvariability, operationalized by the amount of rainfall, has manifested itself in a degradation of the \r\nquality of the rainy season. There are delays in the start and precocity in the end of the rainy season, \r\nwith a higher probability of having pockets of drought during the period 1992-2016. The \r\nrelationship between weather variability and emigration was statistically significant. Precisely, the \r\nmaximum number of consecutive dry days, the cumulative quantity of rain of the previous year, \r\nthe interannual variation of rainfall, the cumulative quantity of rainfall and a lag of 3-months early \r\nrainfall were significantly associated with emigration in the Nouna Health and Demographic \r\nSurveillance System area between 1992 and 2016. Food insecurity, operationalized by households’ \r\ncrops failure, had a positive association with household members emigration. \r\nIn terms of implications, a key policy relevance of the study lies in the demonstration that climate \r\nchange contributes to emigration, whether seasonal or permanent emigration, in the context of \r\nrural Burkina Faso. Moreover, the current thesis proposes concrete strategies to mitigate the \r\nimpacts of climate change, such as by making agriculture more climate resilient and retain \r\npopulations. I suggest to corroborate the findings through a prospective cohort study designed to \r\ncapture a wider range of non-climatic drivers of migration and appropriate confounding variables. \r\nClimate events may induce important demographic changes with considerable implications for the \r\nbroader development of the region."^^ .
