The outcome will be applied to the recovery phase and to improve the Emergency Preparedness Response Plan 2007- 2008. • A United Nations Country Team (UNCT) emergency thematic group was held on 12 June. This represents the kick off of the UN lessons learned exercise: share experiences and improve/reinforce interagency coordination capacity with the National Office for Management of Risks and Disasters (BNGRC) and partners on national and regional level. Each agency is responsible for taking part in an internal evaluation exercise before interagency compilation and sharing. • A Rapid Assessment training with the Think-Tank Stakeholders on Disasters (CRIC) and government members was held from 6 to 8 June. Further to recommendations during this workshop, three decentralized workshops could be held in and for some regional committees in August. UNICEF will propose a plan for agreement to BNGRC/Primature early July.

    IOTC-2018-WPDCS14-13 REPOBLIKAN’NY MADAGASIKARA FITIAVANA-TANINDRAZANA-FANDROSOANA ____________________________ MINISTERE DES RESSOURCES HALIEUTIQUES ET DE LA PECHE UNITE STATISTIQUE THONIERE D’ANTSIRANANA (USTA) 14TH WORKING PARTY ON DATA COLLECTION AND STATISTICS Victoria-Seychelles, 29th November to 1st December 2018 Gaillord JAONA Yacinthe RAZAFIMANDIMBY ABSTRACT In the framework to improve the fishery statistics in Madagascar, the Ministry of Fisheries, through the Unité Statistique Thonière d’Antsiranana, initiated in 2015 a monitoring system for small-scale and artisanal fisheries of pelagic fish in northern Madagascar with two pilot villages. Since 2016, Monitoring has been expanded in other villages where network of investigators have been established in the various potential fishing areas. At each catch landings, an investigator collects tuna catch data and other catches, and also performs sampling. The date of landing, the time at sea, fishing zone, the weight and total number of individuals landed are recorded; and measurements of tuna and tuna like species are conducted. According to the catch monitoring since the pilot phase in 2015, it can be seen that the tuna season in the northern waters of Madagascar is from June to October. In 2016, catches from small-scale fisheries in these two pilot villages reached 102 tons, including 59 tons of tuna and 43 tons of other catches. The tuna average catch is estimated at 5.3 tons per month. In 2017, total catches in the North of Madagascar reached 3 704 tons including 80 tons of tuna and 4 tons of swordfish from 192 692 landings. Indeed, tuna represents only 2% of total catch for these villages because small-scale and artisanal fishermen still face a challenge, which is the lack of appropriate equipment for catching tuna and tuna like species.

A case study from Madagascar’ SUMMARY This thesis examines local people’s voices and influence in negotiations over large-scale land deals. Drawing on ethnographic work on a case study from southern Madagascar, it highlights the variety of agropastoralists’ responses to, and experienced outcomes of, the implementation of an agribusiness project on their land. The purpose of this research was to understand the conditions under which certain local people get heard, and others silenced, in the context of corporate land access and the processes by which some of these local voices manage to influence the terms and conditions of the deal.

Recent studies on the use of wild animal subsistence between 1 May and 1 September through their meat in Madagascar have successfully used self-reporting by classification as game in national wildlife legislation (RACEY et local observers to obtain information (HUMBER et al., 2010, al., 2010).

Historically best known from the extensive wetlands around Lake Alaotra, today around 20 birds exist in the wild primarily on one of four small lakes, in north-western Madagascar near Bemanevika; the species is classified as Critically Endangered by IUCN. Birds breed in a tiny area of one of the lake’s shorelines, and although more than 10 nests were found in 2007 and 2008, no ducklings survived in 2008. Observations in 2009 revealed a skewed sex ratio, with just 6–8 females.
