CONTEXT :
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. Extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts and floods, have serious repercussions, undermining the achievements of development. 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. Advance action is one of the most promising and innovative approaches to managing climate-related risks and preventing them from turning into disasters, by taking anticipatory measures based on weather forecasts or’ impact forecasts to minimize impacts on lives and livelihoods, and avoid negative’ adaptation strategies of affected communities.
A growing network of practitioners is implementing this approach, leading to a transformation in the humanitarian system from responsiveness to proactivity. However, major challenges remain in terms of coordination, understanding of intersectionality, and effective implementation, highlighting the need for an integrated national strategy to achieve more qualitative models of early action, taking into account the diverse needs and perspectives of the most exposed groups, in order to achieve impact on a large scale.
Through Start Ready funding, HI wishes to intervene in response to Inclusive Anticipated Actions, in order to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable populations to the risk of drought in the Great South of Madagascar, in the vulnerable communes of’Atsimo Andrefana.
