The PrAda 2+ project is a six-year initiative designed to adapt agricultural value chains in Madagascar to climate change, specifically targeting the coffee, clove, peanut, pepper, and vanilla sectors. With a total budget of 61,338,446.72 Euros (including 43,623,766.13 Euros from the Green Climate Fund), the project aims to benefit 314,800 direct and 2,650,000 indirect beneficiaries across the regions of Androy, Anosy, Atsimo-Atsinanana, Vatovavy, Fitovinany, and Atsinanana. 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).

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. It finds that extensive systems outperform intensive ones by 36% when negative externalities are included in the valuation.

The PrAda II+ project is a proposed five-year initiative in Madagascar designed to transition the agricultural sector toward climate resilience. Focusing on five key value chains—coffee, clove, peanut, pepper, and vanilla—the project targets six regions (Androy, Anosy, Atsimo-Atsinanana, Vatovavy, Fitovinany, and Atsinanana) where poverty is high and climate hazards like droughts and cyclones are frequent. The project employs a three-pronged approach: introducing climate-resilient agricultural (CRA) technologies, expanding financial services (including a public subsidy mechanism via the Agricultural Development Fund), and improving entrepreneurial and institutional environments. It aims to directly benefit 374,800 people and indirectly benefit over 2.5 million others, with a total indicative cost of EUR 54.7 million.
