We are living in times which are full >of promise. In Africa, and certainly in Madagascar, we are about to embark on a far-reaching change. Africa is a complex continent, con- fronted with numerous challenges, some of which are specific to each country, while the others are common to all. The African Develop- ment Bank continues to make substantial contributions towards assisting Africa in its efforts to tackle its problems and seize the many opportunities available to it.

The Malagasy economy is essen- >tially based on the activities of the primary sector (agriculture, livestock production, fishing and forestry). This sector, which provides more than 76% of jobs created, has an average annual contribution to GDP of more than 25%; its major productions are: (i) rice with regard to subsistence crops (about 73% of the Malagasy population are employed in rice production, in the rural areas); and (ii) vanilla, cloves, pepper, coffee and cotton. The national production is divided between: agriculture and primary Following the 2001/2002 political crisis, the activities (25.3% of GDP on average); industry country experienced a recession, with a (14% on average, including mainly: the food growth rate of -12.7% in 2002, before recov- industry, energy and beverages); services (59% ering to reach 9.8%, 5.3%, and 4.6% in 2003, on average).

The project comprises the following four components: i) Rehabilitation of the irrigation infrastructure, ii) Support to the development of the irrigated area, iii) Opening up of the irrigated area, and iv) Project management.

Project Outcome

The rehabilitation of the irrigated area essentially entails works for the protection of dykes, desanding, the construction of new channels which resulted in the development of about 7 000 ha through double cropping, at the end of 2006, with an additional production of 31 503 tons of paddy rice. The different sensitisation and research actions undertaken to improve the varieties resulted in high yield performances with an average paddy rice yield of 5.6 t/ha. During agricultural competitions, organised in 2003, 2004 and 2005, the Mangoky farmers obtained best producers’ awards at both Project Objective and Description regional and national level.

Project outcome

A new small town located around the agricultural training and support centre, built by the project, surfaced in Ambatofotsy.

The project focussed on works concerning the rehabilitation of the railroad line. It thus contributed to the rehabilitation of earth structures, bridges and tunnels damaged by the passage of cyclones Eline, Gloria and Hudah in February and March 2000. All the towns and villages bordering the southern railway and which cannot be reached through this railroad line, are currently being opened up. Thus the populations concerned can now travel to the major urban centres and dispose of their agricultural productions.
