Approximately 100 individuals responsible for the Public Disclosure Authorized management of cash transfer programs participated in the conference, including representatives from Benin (5), Burkina Faso (5), Burundi (4), Cameroon (4), Comoros (4), Republic of Congo (4), Cote d’Ivoire (4), Guinea (3), Madagascar (20), Mali (4), Mauritania (5), Central African Republic (4), Democratic Republic of Congo (3), Senegal (4), Chad (3), and Togo (2). The country representatives in attendance are directly responsible for the design and management of cash transfer programs in their respective countries. The only three country members of the CoP not in attendance were Djibouti, Niger and Equatorial Guinea. In addition to country representation, several partner organizations for cash transfer programs attended and actively participated in the sessions including UNICEF (Burundi, Chad, and Togo), ActionAid (Burundi), World Food Programme (Madagascar), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC), and ideas42. Several World Bank offices were also represented (Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, and Madagascar). A list of participants is attached. Public Disclosure Authorized The conference was organized and led by Madagascar teams from the Fonds d’Intervention pour le Développement (FID) and the Ministry of Population, Social Protection, and Women’s Development (MPPSPF), with support from the World Bank Madagascar country office and World Bank Headquarters, with Azedine Ouerghi as the lead facilitator for the CoP event. A full list of participants is attached. The Prime Minister of Madagascar, Christian Ntsay, officially opened the conference, and provided opening remarks alongside representatives from the CoP, UNICEF, the World Bank Madagascar office, and the Ministry of Population, Social Protection and Promotion of Women. The five-day conference centered around Accompanying Measures to Support Human Capital Development. The framing presentation Accelerating investments in human capital: Role and Public Disclosure Authorized opportunities of social safety nets (Laura Rawlings – World Bank) was followed by examples from Madagascar (Achille Razatatoanina – FID Madagascar), from Asia and MENA (Raquel Tebaldi – IPC), concerning cash transfers and early childhood development (Patricia Norolalao – World Bank), and behavioral interventions to promote investments in human capital (Tina Razafinimanana – ideas42). Country representatives presented on the management of accompanying measures across sectors (Mali and Mauritania), in the context of scaling accompanying measures within cash transfer programs (Burkina Faso and Mali), and featured in a roundtable on the balance between national-level oversight and local- level implementation of cash transfer programs including for crisis response (Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Guinea). The full agenda is attached. • The conference included a poster exhibit on cash transfer programs’ accompanying measures focused on human capital • A field visit took place for program sites in Betafo and Antanifotsy to study Madagascar’s 2 main Public Disclosure Authorized cash transfer programs: Transferts Monétaires pour le Développement Humain (Human Development Cash Transfer or TMDH) for poor and vulnerable households with children ages 0- 12, and Argent Contre Travail Productif (Productive Cash-for-Work or ACTP) which finances productive and climate resilient sub-projects. At each site, program beneficiaries and “Mother Leaders” shared their experiences and demonstrated program activities, including on productive inclusion and accompanying measures related to cognitive development during the early years, household nutrition, and adolescent health. The conference concluded with a member meeting on the future of the CoP as RSR funding is expiring. Members elected a president and governing board for a two-year term to lead the process to develop a business plan to ensure autonomy and sustainability of the CoP following the expiry of central World Bank funding. The new leadership team will look to leverage existing resources such as World Bank financed country projects and other international and local partners to sustain program activities. The next face-to-face meetings are planned for Mali (2020) and Cameroon (2021). A few days after the conclusion of the CoP conference, World Bank President David Malpass visited a Human Development Cash Transfer site during his first overseas visit along with the Africa region Vice President Hafez Ghanem and the President of Madagascar, Andry Rajoelina.

Taylor Crowl Academic Advisor: Reine Razafimahefa Academic Director: Roland Pritchett Fall 2014 ! Abstract In Madagascar, legal systems of land tenure have been inaccessible for the vast majority of the rural population. This has stranded millions of subsistence farmers in a sense of insecurity, as they lack legal rights for the property that they have farmed for generations. Madagascar’s land reform, launched in 2005, attempted to change these exclusionary tenure practices.

Humanitarian assistance will be needed to fill these food deficits, protect livelihoods, and prevent acute malnutrition.

    Reducing UPOPs and Mercury Releases from The Health Sector in Africa Project Case Study - Madagascar The GEF/HCWM project supports the vaccination campaign against the measles outbreak by collecting health care waste from landlocked areas Background Approach ● Between October 2018 and January 2019, the Ministry of Public Health of Madagascar reported 19,539 cases of measles—39 deaths in health facilities (0.2% mortality rate—and launched a vaccination campaign, in which nearly 4 million children aged 6 months to 10 years were vaccinated during April 2019. ● In Madagascar, incineration and open burning are the most widely used and known disposal technologies for infectious waste—resulting in significant release of unintentional persistent pollutants (UPOPs). Exposure to UPOPs may lead to several types of cancers and the impairment of the immune system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the reproductive functions. In Madagascar, many diseases related to inadequate handling, disposal, and reuse of infectious health care waste are reported and pose a threat to the health of the medical staff, patients, visitors, and the community. ● The GEF-financed project to reduce UPOPs and mercury in the ● The General Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health issued an health sector in Africa—GEF/HCWM Project—supported the official letter to assign four hospitals in Anjozorobe, Ankazobe, collection, transportation, and treatment of infectious waste of the Betafo, and Mandoto to be points of collection for medical vaccination campaign in four districts: Anjozorobe, Ankazobe, vaccination waste from all base health centres (CSBs) in their Betafo, and Mandoto.

The tropical cyclone will reach a maximum wind speed of 130 km/h. Based on the observed and predicted cyclone track as of 4th January 2018 (00:00 UTC), sustained wind speeds zones and population data from WorldPop, UNITAR-UNOSAT conducted a population exposure analysis for Madagascar. ~18,600,000 people are exposed to wind speed of at least 60 km/h : - 1,921,571 people are exposed to 120 km/h winds - 8,508,507 people are exposed to the 90 km/h winds, - 8,191,489 people are exposed to the 60 km/h winds. Taking into account the zones with a flood hazard of 25 years return period within the predicted wind speed zones, about 156,300 people are living in these areas and are potentially exposed to 120 km/h winds. About 795,500 people are exposed to floods in the 90 km/h sustained wind speed zone and 571,500 people in the 60 km/h sustained wind speed zone.
