West Africa is a region heavily dependent on agriculture, but it faces growing challenges related to climate change and demographic pressure. This study analyzes the relative impact of climate variables (rainfall, temperature) and economic factors (GDP, population, irrigation) on agricultural yield in 10 countries in the region between 2000 and 2020. Based on a statistical analysis (correlation and multiple linear regression), the results show that climate variables have a limited impact, mitigated by local adaptation strategies such as the adoption of modern irrigation systems ("drip", "sprinkler") and the efficient use of water resources. In contrast, economic and technological factors, including GDP, irrigable area, and irrigation methods, play a predominant role in improving agricultural productivity. These results highlight the importance of public and private investments in agriculture to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems to the impacts of climate change. The study concludes with recommendations aimed at promoting sustainable public policies and technological innovations adapted to the specific needs of the region
