PROJECT DOCUMENT |Project Title: Enhancing the adaptation capacities and resilience to |
|climate change in rural communities in Analamanga, Atsinanana, Androy, |
|Anosy and Atsimo Andrefana in Madagascar. |
|UNDAF |Outcome 1: Vulnerable population in targeted areas access to |
|2015-2019|income and employment opportunities, improve their resilience |
|outcome: |capacities and contribute to inclusive and equitable growth for |
| |sustainable development. |
|Primary outcome of the UNDP Strategic Environment and Sustainable |
|Development Plan: Growth and development are inclusive and sustainable, |
|incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods|
|for the poor and excluded |
|Secondary outcome of the UNDP Strategic Plan: Countries are able to reduce|
|the likelihood of conflict and lower the risk of natural disasters, |
|including from climate change |
|Expected Outcome of the UNDP Country Programme: |
|Outcome 2. National and local institutions and players have adopted |
|appropriate systems providing for the structural transformation and |
|strengthening of sustainable production capacities, favouring the creation|
|of jobs and livelihoods for poor or vulnerable populations, especially |
|women and youth. |
|Outcome 4. Territorial and local communities have developed the |
|capacities, means, institutional structures, operational frameworks and |
|skills to foster resilience in the face of a crisis (economic, climate |
|change, natural disasters), to effectively deal with its aftermath, and to|
|promote local development by meeting publicly expressed needs. |
|Expected Outcomes of the Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP): |
|Outcome 3. "National and local institutions and players are now using |
|tools and mechanisms to facilitate the achievement of MDG/SDG and to |
|promote more effective development." |
|Outcome 4. "Structural transformation, strengthened sustainable |
|production capacities, and sound environmental governance have effectively|
|fostered the creation of jobs and livelihoods for poor or vulnerable |
|populations, especially women and youth." |

|Summary Description |
|In Madagascar, the economic sectors most affected by the harmful effects |
|of climate change are agriculture, livestock, forestry, water resources, |
|fishing and health. To enjoy sustainable livelihoods in a context of |
|climate change, the local populations of the Analamanga, Atsinanana, |
|Androy, Anosy and Atsimo Andrefana regions must find a way to strengthen |
|their adaptation and resilience capacities, which is the goal set by the |
|proposed project. To this end, several barriers must be overcome, such as |
|anthropic pressure on natural resources, the lack of financial and |
|technical capacities, the difficult access to credit and inputs, the lack |
|of water and sanitation infrastructures, the lack of agro-meteorological |
|and climate information to inform climate change adaptation decision |
|processes, the lack of awareness regarding climate change impacts and |
|potential adaptation options on the part of decision-makers and the lack |
|of coordination for adaptation interventions among sectors. |
|This project serves to address these various obstacles by achieving three |
|main outcomes. The first outcome aims to increase the awareness and |
|strengthen the capacities of decision-makers, technicians and vulnerable |
|communities in terms of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). This awareness |
|raising support will contributed to build a solid political framework, |
|including CCA aspects, and to build a critical technical capacity upon |
|which the implementation of other project components can be based. This |
|first outcome will enable setting up the institutional, structural and |
|technical foundations needed to disseminate and appropriate adaptation |
|measures and technologies. The second outcome aims to ensure the |
|collection and production of reliable climate and meteorological |
|information. Disseminating this information in a manner that meets the |
|needs of end users will foster informed decision-making in regards to |
|climate and meteorological conditions. Finally, the third outcome aims to |
|transfer adaptation measures, options and technologies to vulnerable |
|communities in the selected regions using a participatory approach, |
|building on the strengthened capacities achieved through the first |
|component, and the agro-meteorological information and forecasts produced |
|through the second component. |
