BACKGROUND :
Madagascar is particularly vulnerable to the risks of disasters that regularly hit different regions of the country and can suddenly affect the food and nutrition situation. This is accentuated by climate change, especially in the Great South. Drought, in particular, generates multidimensional consequences such as food insecurity, loss of livelihoods, malnutrition, out-of-schooling, forced displacement, etc, and difficulties in access to drinking water, as well as issues of protection of populations. Women, children, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups are particularly affected, with increased risks of gender-based violence.
The consortium, composed of’HI, Action Contre la Faim, Welthungerhilfe, Sehatra Ampandrosoana Haingana ny Ivom-paritra, proposes to DG ECHO an initiative focused on strengthening the coordination systems for Anticipated Actions (AA) and Early Warning Systems (SAP) at national and regional level,’, and the establishment of Protocols of Anticipated Action (AAA) in 24 municipalities, covering 6 districts of the 3 regions of the Great South of Madagascar. HI will lead the consortium, and WHH will co-facilitate the Working Group on Anticipated Actions in support of the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC). The national NGO SAHI will be at the heart of the strategy, aiming to localize the control of AA and Financing based on Forecasts with national partners.The project focuses on coordination, harmonization of multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral approaches for AA, as well as the development of Drought Action Protocols. Inclusion of vulnerable people, community risk training, and local capacity building are integral parts of the project.
Given the scale of the humanitarian challenges in the Great South regions as well as AA and SAP in Madagascar, the Consortium will work together on four key outcomes.
1. Anticipated Actions Coordination Platforms and Early Warning Systems
2. Protocols of Drought Anticipation Actions
