Endogenous adaptation strategies of WEME communities in the Aguegues commune facing annual flooding

The various changes in climatic parameters have direct and indirect consequences on the lives of communities, particularly those in areas that experience periodic flooding. This study aims to catalog the endogenous adaptation strategies employed by households in the Aguégués Commune to cope with annual flooding. The methodological approach is based on the data used, data collection via Kobo-Collect, their processing, and the analysis of results using the PEIR model.  A total, of 71 households were surveyed as part of this research. The study results indicate ten (10) the endogenous adaptation strategies in the face of flooding in Aguégués. These include: cultivating on raised beds (15 %), repairing or building pirogues (10 %), pirogue transportation (20 %), installing drainage canals (5 %), building semi-permanent dwellings (17 %), traditional bridges installing (10 %), occupying public roads (5 %), premature harvesting (8 %), adopting short-cycle seeds (5 %) and temporary migration (5 %).
