The survey with the scientists in Ghana was conducted between October and November 2015; the survey with WASCAL scientists between December 2015 and May 2016; the survey with agricultural officers between July and August 2016. 37 field officers, 15 scientists in Ghana and 9 scientists in WASCAL have been consulted. The conditional probabilities of event occurrence were needed for a modelling approach with a Bayesian Belief Network on food and water provision in the Upper East Region.

Not all questions have been asked to everybody. Field officers were sometimes asked in groups of two or three people. The CPTs which are not filled by the respondent is not shown in the excel sheet. Values in one row are always in total 100% (empty columns means 0%). Abbreviations: CPTs= Conditional Probability Tables LULCC= Land use and land cover change
