In a context already marked by extreme poverty, high food insecurity and high deforestation rates, the effects of climate change are impacting and will impact already very vulnerable rural households.

As part of the AdaptAction facility, AFD and the Government of Madagascar called on SalvaTerra to pilot the feasibility study of a large-scale territorial project. This “Talaky Be” project should contribute to improving the living conditions, food security and resilience of rural populations to the effects of CC, through the dissemination of sustainable and climate-smart agriculture as part of integrated territorial management and sustainable restoration of landscapes and forests in the Anosy region.

It benefits from the long experience of AFD and its partners in the region, including the Talaky project (2018-2022), and before it the Holistic Forest Conservation Program (PHCF, 2008-2013 and 2013-2018). These projects, operated by Nitidae and Agrisud International, aimed in particular at the conservation of natural ecosystems and the improvement of the living conditions of rural populations in the Beampingaratsy corridor, in the Anosy region.

With its partners BEST, EGIS, IRD and Carbonium, SalvaTerra produced 10 deliverables including the complete technical and budgetary feasibility study of the Project.
