Abstract
The objective of the project is to
improve the environmental management capacity in Madagascar
through the implementation of institutional development and
emergency actions. Project components included: (i)
protection and management of biodiversity; (ii)
community-based soil conservation and watershed management;
(iii) mapping and remote sensing for improved natural
resources management; (iv) improved land security through
cadastral surveys; (v) environmental sensitization,
education and training; and (vi) research and institution
building and reinforcement, (e.g., for natural forest
management). Lessons learned: local participation,
integration of environmental concerns into national and
local decision-making and multi-donor input at the design
stage increased the effectiveness of the project. The second
environment project under preparation seeks to incorporate
such concerns more strategically at the design stage.
