Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot, but is highly susceptible to climate stressors that threaten its biodiversity and natural resource base, such as cyclones, sea level rise, droughts, and floods.
To help sustain the economy, livelihoods, and culture associated with biodiversity, the Government of Madagascar (GoM) has set development goals to support natural resource and biodiversity conservation and manage climate and non-climate stressors. To help the GoM achieve these goals, USAID/Madagascar’s Environment and Climate Change Office (ECCO) funded two activities under the Conservation and Communities Project (CCP): Hay Tao (Knowledge Management for Biodiversity Conservation) and Mikajy (Site-based Interventions for Biodiversity Conservation). Both activities integrate biodiversity, natural resource management, livelihoods, and climate change. CEADIR collaborated closely with Mikajy and Hay Tao and USAID/Madagascar. This report presents the results of the following tasks:
Through this, it provides an overview of impact, and also discusses lessons learnt, challenges, opportunities, and recommendations for climate finance.
The cities of Accra in Ghana and Maputo in Mozambique currently face many development challenges, such as poor transport and drainage infrastructure, as a result of inadequate planning regulation and law enforcement.
