Climate Change threatens many aspects of human lives globally. Africa is particularly vulnerable because (Hoffman and Vogel, 2010):

1. There is a very high dependence on rain-fed agriculture (60%) and on climate-sensitive natural resources for livelihoods,
2. There is extreme poverty in many African countries with little or no insurance against environmental stressors, and
3. There is an increasing rate of degradation of natural resources leading to low resilience to the impact of rising temperatures and more variable rainfall.
4. Despite many climate change studies, not many have conducted integrated assessments that link biophysical and socioeconomic impacts on agriculture productivity.
