Discover AtmosphereAbstract Accurate subdaily rainfall data are critical for the design of hydrological infrastructure and effective flood risk assessment, particularly in data-scarce regions such as Uganda, where rainfall records are typically available only at daily resolutions. This research used observed hourly rainfall data to derive site-specific parameters

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...
