The project conducted a comprehensive study on the impacts of climate change and hazards on key sectors in Madagascar, including agriculture, water and sanitation, health, education, and infrastructure. Given the country’s high vulnerability to extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones, droughts, and rising sea levels, the study aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the economic, environmental, and social consequences of these hazards. Using historical data, case studies, and sector-specific assessments, the research evaluated the extent of climate-related damage and its implications for livelihoods, food security, and economic development. It also examined Madagascar’s adaptive capacity, identifying both strengths and weaknesses in the country’s response to climate change.

Based on these findings, the project proposed a series of strategic interventions to enhance climate resilience. These included promoting climate-smart agriculture, strengthening water resource management, reinforcing health and education infrastructure, and improving disaster preparedness. The study also assessed ongoing international support from organizations such as the World Bank, USAID, and the African Development Bank, which have been instrumental in funding projects in irrigation, renewable energy, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Additionally, the project highlighted policy gaps and recommended targeted investments in sustainable development, infrastructure upgrades, and capacity-building initiatives to ensure Madagascar’s long-term adaptation to climate change.
