    MISSIONS TECHNIQUES Intervenants : Daniel LE DIASCORN et Jean-Guy MOREAU. BULLETIN INFOS Les missions techniques ont pour but d’équiper des CSB situés dans la région de Diego Suarez, d’installations électriques solaires. Ces installations sont composées de panneaux solaires et de batteries 12 volts qui distribuent la JUIN 201 2 lumière dans le bâtiment et fournissent une source de 220 v par l’intermédiaire d’un convertisseur 12 v – 220 v. Depuis 2006 les missions techniques ont permis d’équiper cinq CSB de Mahavanona, Berafia, Ankétrakabé, Joffreville et Mangaoka. Suivant les disponibilités financières et techniques de l'association, il est possible d’équiper un centre par an, tout en assurant la maintenance et l’amélioration de ceux existants. Les programmes d’intervention sont élaborés en accord avec la Direction Régionale de la Santé, représentée par le Dr Romeline et le bureau du Conseil EDITO Général du Finistère à Diego. Une mission technique est prévue pour la période d'octobre – novembre 2012. Le Dr Romeline et le CG29 nous ont proposé pour la prochaine mission de réhabiliter des sites équipés il y a plusieurs Réflexions… années, mais dont les installations sont hors d’usage à la suite de la défaillance de certains éléments (généralement les batteries). Voici venu le temps du bulletin de l’été. Les annonces faites lors du dernier se sont réalisées. Le repas malgache du 4 février a été un succès : la cuisine d’Anne et ses copines était, comme toujours, bonne Les sites proposés sont : et l’ambiance fort amicale. Nous avons participé à bien des manifestations organisées par ou pour les associations brestoises.

    P a g e | 1 Operations Update 2 Madagascar: Heavy Rains, Floods and Landslides DREF n° MDRMG016 GLIDE n° F-2020-0008-MDG EPoA update n° 2: 16 September 2020 Timeframe covered by this update: 5 February to 31 August 2020 (6 months) Operation start date: 05 February 2020 Operation timeframe: 9 months (New end date: 30 November 2020) Overall operation budget: CHF 307,356 N° of people being assisted: 5,000 people in Alaotra Mangoro, Analamanga, and Betsiboka Regions Red Cross Red Crescent Movement partners currently actively involved in the operation: French Red Cross (PIROI), German Red Cross, and Luxemburg Red Cross Other partner organizations actively involved in the operation: National Office for Disaster Risk Management [BNGRC] Summary of major revisions made to emergency plan of action: This Operations Update 2 is issued to inform stakeholders of the need to extend the timeframe of this DREF operation by three (3) months (new end date 30 November 2020). The main reason for this extraordinary extension is to enable the Malagasy Red Cross Society and IFRC to complete the replenishment of non-food items (NFIs) taken from the emergency/contingency stocks of the National Society (NS). This replenishment process started only after distributions were made on 21 August 2020, logistics process only allows replenishment after distribution has been completed documented (proof of exit from warehouse, distribution reports, etc.) before the requisition for replenishment should be issued. Constraints linked to the COVID-19 Pandemic: • In mid-March 2020, restrictive measures such as total lockdown, limited movements to access some regions, prohibition of gatherings, etc.) were put in place by the Malagasy Government.

Astiella is an herbaceous genus endemic to Madagascar, originally described with a single species A. delicatula Jovet. Molecular and morphological evidence place it in the tribe Spermacoceae s. lat. of Rubiaceae. During herbarium studies and fieldwork in Madagascar, 11 new Astiella species were identified and these are described here: A. antongilensis Groeninckx sp. nov., A. antsalovansis Groeninckx sp. nov., A. confusa Groeninckx sp. nov., A. deblockiae Groeninckx sp. nov., A. desseinii Groeninckx sp. nov., A. homolleae Groeninckx sp. nov., A. latifolia Groeninckx sp. nov., A. longifimbria Groeninckx sp. nov., A. perrieri Groeninckx sp. nov., A. pulla Groeninckx sp. nov., and A. tsaratanensis Groeninckx sp. nov. The genus Astiella now holds 12 species in total that are all endemic to Madagascar.
