  ABSTRACT: This paper surveys 300 maize-growing households in Kolda, Senegal, to assess their perception of climate risks and the adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices. Using the SCCRPI, RII, WAI, and PCI indices, the authors find that rising temperatures, drought, and reduced rainfall are the main perceived hazards, while drill seeding, crop rotation, and recommended fertilizer use are the most common CSA measures. Key adoption drivers are food security, yield, and income gains, whereas limited credit access, weak market outlets, and scant government support are the main obstacles. The study recommends stronger extension, capacity building, and financial support to scale CSA practices.
