The project focuses on three main components: implementing climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) technologies, expanding financial services for CRA investments through the Agricultural Development Fund (FDA), and improving the entrepreneurial and institutional environment for agricultural services. Key interventions include the dissemination of tailored agrometeorological information, the promotion of climate-resilient crop varieties, and the establishment of Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs).","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"Five key agricultural value chains have been selected for the project due to their vulnerability to climate change and economic importance: coffee, clove, peanut, pepper, and vanilla.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Climate hazards in Madagascar include increasing temperatures, decreasing total precipitation, longer dry spells, shifts in the onset of the rainy season, and more intense tropical cyclones.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-2","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project aims to reach 314,800 direct beneficiaries and 2,650,000 indirect beneficiaries, with a target of approximately 50% being women.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-3","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"A primary barrier to adaptation is the lack of tailored weather and climate information, as the General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) has limited capacity for district-specific forecasts.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-4","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Smallholder farmers face significant financial barriers, with less than 15% using formal financial services and only 3% having access to formal loans.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-5","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project will utilize the Agricultural Development Fund (FDA) as an executing entity to provide non-repayable grants for the implementation of climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) measures.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-6","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project promotes specific on-farm adaptation measures based on agroecological principles, including soil covering with living cover or mulch, application of compost, planting natural windbreaks, and the use of shade trees.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-7","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"To improve financial inclusion, the project will establish and strengthen Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) and facilitate their linkage with formal financial institutions.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-8","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project will implement the Farmer Business School (FBS) approach to improve the entrepreneurial skills of smallholder farmers, treating farms as profitable businesses.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-9","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project expects to bring 8,032 hectares of natural resources under improved low-emission and/or climate-resilient management practices.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-10","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project aims to sequester an additional 275,800 tonnes of CO2e over its 20-year lifespan through the implementation of CRA practices.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-11","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project is categorized as 'Category B' or 'medium risk' regarding environmental and social impacts, with risks being site-specific and manageable.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-005298#insight-12","date_modified":"2026-10-23"}],"climate_tags":["Climate-smart agriculture","climate finance","agroecology","carbon sequestration","smallholder","food security","tropical cyclone","drought"],"geography_discussed":["Androy","Anôsy","Atsinanana"],"frame_perspective":[],"analysis_type":["funding proposal","climate risk assessment","economic and financial analysis"]},{"id":"iisd-001030","url":"https://climateinsightsdirectory.org/document/iisd-001030","title":"Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) of Aquaculture in Madagascar","publisher":{"name":"International Institute for Sustainable Development","organization":"international-institute-for-sustainable-development"},"document_type":"report","language":"en","date_published":"2024-11-19","source_url":"https://www.iisd.org/publications/report/sustainable-asset-valuation-aquaculture-madagascar","generator":"Climate Insights Directory","generated_fields":["summary","key_insights","climate_tags","geography_discussed","analysis_type"],"summary":{"text":"The report analyzes the impact of the Projet d'Aquaculture Durable à Madagascar (PADM) across six regions, comparing extensive rice-fish farming with intensive aquaculture systems.
