Rôle de l'aide financière internationale dans la production agricole en Afrique subsaharienne face aux changements climatiques : une étude de panel des pays de la SADC

This study examines the role of international financial aid in agricultural production in the face of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically in the SADC region. The aim is to highlight the heterogeneous impact of international financial aid on agricultural production, depending on the climatic conditions prevailing in the panel of SADC member countries. To do this, we first used an estimation approach based on the ordinary least squares method, which, in the context of time series for a panel of countries, cannot deal with the problem of individual country effects. For this reason, we needed to be able to use one of the individual effects methods, namely the fixed effects method, in order to eliminate the effects specific to each country in our study panel. We then estimated a dynamic model with the Arellano-Bover/Blundell-Bond estimator, which applies fixed effects and uses the generalised method of moments (GMM) in a system. Our sample is based on a set of 16 countries with data covering the period 1960-2022. It should be noted, however, that the value of foreign financial aid used here is a proxy for foreign aid to agriculture. This analysis shows that international (foreign) financial aid has a significant impact when climatic conditions have a moderate effect on a country's agricultural production. However, we have observed that foreign financial aid decreases as climate change becomes more severe or more difficult.
