Résumé L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier les déterminants de la résilience des chefs de ménage agricoles de la zone du Sine Saloum du Sénégal face au déficit pluviométrique. Ainsi, sur la base d’une enquête menée auprès de 255 chefs de ménage agricoles et avec l’utilisation du modèle Logit, nos résultats montrent que la capacité de résilience d’un chef de ménage agricole est faible et correspond à 34,1%. Ce niveau de résilience peut être expliqué par plusieurs variables telles que le sexe, l’accès à l’information climatique et l’activité agricole hors saison des pluies. En effet, l’Accès à l’information climatique et la pratique d’activités agricoles hors saison des pluies augmentent la résilience des chefs de ménage. Les hommes sont aussi plus résilients que les femmes, chefs de ménage. Mots clés : résilience, déficit pluviométrique, agriculture, chef de ménage agricole, Sine Saloum, modèle logit Abstract The objective of this study is to examine the determinants of the resilience of agricultural household heads in the Sine Saloum region of Senegal in response to rainfall deficits. Based on a survey conducted among 255 agricultural household heads and using a Logit model, the results reveal that the resilience capacity of household heads is relatively low, estimated at 34.1%. This level of resilience is influenced by several factors, including gender, access to climate information, and engagement in agricultural activities during the dry season. Specifically, access to climate information and the practice of off-season farming enhance the resilience of household heads. Moreover, male household heads are found to be more resilient than their female counterparts. Keywords: resilience, rainfall deficit, agriculture, agricultural household head, Sine Saloum, Logit model.
