“…Les villageois considèrent en effet que ces envois permettent de surmonter les défaillances du marché local (Wouterse, Taylor, 2008), exacerbées par la mondialisation et les changements envi-ronnementaux. Dans ces contextes où les systèmes d'assurances et de crédits sont peu développés et où peu d'agriculteurs y ont accès, les transferts monétaires jouent un rôle central pour consolider l'adaptation aux changements environnementaux et à la réduction des risques au niveau du ménage (Banerjee et al, 2016).…”

Cet article explore les perceptions sur les mobilités en lien avec les stratégies d’adaptation des ménages et des communautés d’origine dans trois régions du Sénégal affectées par des changements environnementaux : le Gandiolais, le bassin arachidier et le Fouta-Toro. Nous présentons d’abord les impacts des changements environnementaux majeurs qui les affectent, pour ensuite comparer thématiquement les perceptions des migrants internes et des non-migrants villageois concernant les transferts de fonds monétaires des migrants. Finalement, nous démontrons qu’il y a de fortes attentes de la part des ménages d’origine envers leurs migrants en termes de contribution aux capacités adaptatives. L’importance accordée à la mobilité par les migrants et les non-migrants, comme moyen d’adaptation souvent inconscient, explique en partie la réticence observée pour la migration de retour et une certaine prévalence de la migration à long terme comme stratégie d’adaptation majeure.

“…Young people migrate seasonally to adjoining towns seeking wage employment while maintaining ties with their homes. Labour migration is integral to the portfolio of livelihoods that households rely on to deal with everyday struggles and to shield against various economic, environmental, and social risks (Hoermann et al 2010;Karki 2012;Gioli et al 2014a;Banerjee et al 2016).…”

“…To strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather and other disasters, SDG target 2.4 prescribes sustainable food production systems and the implementation of resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and maintain ecosystems. 5 Findings from South-West China, North-East India and Eastern Nepal suggest that remittance-recipient households are more likely to reduce their farm size in the long-term than non-recipient households, and in turn their dependence on agriculture would decline (Banerjee et al, 2016;Banerjee, 2017). Ensuring food security also involves access to food commodity markets and timely access to market information (see target 2.C).…”

Supply-side actors are individual diasporans themselves, their informal networks and diaspora organizations. Some NGOs in countries of residence can also play the role of supply-side actor when they engage in diasporacapital mobilization activities. Many different types of organizations bridge the interests, needs and abilities of supply-and demand-side actors together. These bridging organizations include some universities with diaspora programmes and think tanks, such as the Migration Policy Institute, which conducts and disseminates research that benefits both sides of the diaspora-engagement equation. Also included are business incubators, such as IntEnt in the Netherlands, which specialize in providing business incubation services to diaspora entrepreneurs seeking to start new ventures in their countries or origin/heritage while still living in their countries of residence. Several private-sector firms, such as money-transfer organizations, diaspora tourism operators and investment companies, as well as NGOs that organize diaspora volunteer projects or engage in development activities in the country of origin/heritage (e.g. Volunteer for Economic Growth Alliance) also bring supply-and demandside actors together.
