The WFP Emergency Food Security Assessment (“EFSA”) targets 82 villages in Sofia Region and Ambanja district: 7. WFP's emergency food security • Village with difficult access. assessment (EFSA) has finished field • Village with easy access by road data collection and analysis of results has commenced. SECTORAL RESPONSE Health 8. In Maroantsetra, MDM (Doctors of the World) are ending their operations in the 18th of June. The primary health care support program provided 12 000 medical consultations, enhanced the quality and capacity of 8 primary health care centres. 5 000 impregnated mosquito nets, 5 mt of soap and 3 500 blanquets were also distributed to pregnant women and children under 5 years old. MDM will maintain an epidemiological and nutritionnal monitoring from June to September 07, in the Maroantsetra district by establishing a contract with the local health district who will provide 2 medical doctors. 9. In Sofia and Ambanja, further to the distribution of 18 (Sofia) + 11 Ambanja) basic medical kits, covering the needs of 29 000 people during 1 month, monitoring databases have been set up in the 11 Ambanja health centers for nutritional, epidemiology and vaccination follow up. UNICEF also did competency reinforcement amongst 30 health centers directors and 12 District management teams for data management and monitoring. 10. Joint “health teams” have been created with the District Health Services (SSD), School district authorities and UNICEF. These teams are now starting visits in the municipalities to mobilize the communities on risks of diarrhoea and need for vaccinations. Technical and strategic assistance to four heath centers in municipalities of Ambanja, Ambodimanga Ramena, Antsakoamanondro and Ankatafa for the vaccination of 289 children < 12 months and 294 pregnant women. Further more, sensitizing meeting are held with 130 health agents, 26 school directors and 11 directors of health centres on “water, sanitation and hygiene”. Nutrition South: 11. The SIRSA bulletin No 8 explains that findings from monitoring conducted between December 06 and March 07 are allowing a prevision of "difficulté alimentaire" / food access difficulty (FAD) in 16 communes of the Ambovombe districts (Androy) and Amboasary South as rains have not been sufficient. This should be contextualized as, from February onwards the situation was at 40 communes in FAD -- now down to only 16. In the other 28 communes the rains were fine with harvests expected. WFP is continuing food for work interventions in these zones. 12. Moreover, 86 communes of the Nosi Varika, Mananjary, Vohipeno, Farafangana and Vangaindrano coastal areas, are in the risk of an earlier and harder lean season and have to be closely monitored. 13. Three SMART (Standard Monitoring Assessment Relief Transition) surveys will be conducted by the National Nutrition Office (ONN) and Ministry Of Health with technical and financial support from UNICEF in the 28 municipalities of Androy, Anosy and the South West, where food and nutrition interventions were conducted since about 5 months, as a result of acute food insecurity. The surveys will provide an updated picture of the nutrition situation in the areas of concern and the estimated coverage of the current feeding program while the findings will assist in planning the future of the current nutrition interventions. In addiition, it will provide an indirect evaluation of the large scale general food distribution program launched by WFP to stablize the overall nutritional situation of the zone. Survey preparation is currently underway and data collection is due at the end of May. Preliminary results are expected towards mid-June. South-East: Region of Vatovavy Fitovinany : 14. WFP in collaboration with German Agro Action has opened 11 supplementary feeding centres in the 11 most severely impacted municipalities in Nosy Varika and Manajary to treat an expected 4 800 moderately malnourished children and People with Low Weight in the coming 5-6 months. 2 Food Security – Agricultural recovery: 15. North West: The WFP Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) data collection targeting 820 families in 82 villages in cyclone affected areas ended on the 6th of June. Analysis of results has commenced and the results will be available end of June. 16. North West and North East: WFP has started food for work interventions to 53 000 beneficiaries in collaboration with local NGOs in the North West. Interventions in the North East will be limited to a two month duration, at which point food security assessments will indicate whether further activities are required in this relatively food secure zone. In total, 543 tons are expected to be distributed. 17. North East: Food For Work interventions will be limited to a 2 month duration, at which point food security assessments will indicate whether further activities are required in this relatively food secure zone. In total, 543 mt of food are expected to be distributed. 18. North East: In Marontsetra and Antalaha districts, which were directly hit by Indlala, WFP is working with CARE International to provide food for work activities to over 40 000 people distributing nearly 1 000 mt of food in the coming months. WFP food for work activities will include repairing irrigation structures, re- establishing market access, and rehabilitation of agricultural fields and rice perimeters to improve the population’s capacity to resist future shocks. 19. North East: ECHO and CARE have signed a 700 000 Euros agreement for a food security / agricultural restart in Maroantsetra and Antalaha districts. 20. South East : Region of Vatovavy Fitovinany - districts of Nosy Varika and Mananjary: The FAO Emergency Coordination Unit, in cooperation with implementing partner Agro Action Allemande, will assist 30,000 rural households in the through distribution of 38 tons of beans seeds and 35 tons of rice seed. 21. WFP in collaboration with German Agro Action have commenced food for work activities since the first week of May. Currently 30 400 beneficiaries are being targeted. This figure will increase to over 100 000 beneficiaries in the coming 5 months with nearly 1 800 mt of food to be distributed. 22. FAO is also planning to distribute seeds of rice, beans and maize in the districts of Mahanoro, Atsinanana region, also affected by cyclones. According to a recent CARE’s assessment households vulnerability is rapidly increasing and farmers are in urgent need of seeds to restart agricultural activities. 23. North West and South East: WFP has, through the NGO Lalana, done a road assessment of secondary roads in the areas affected by the cyclones. They have suggested that 238 km of roads should be rehabilitated through future Food for Work activities. In addition WFP assessment recommends additional 44 km of roads to be rehabilitated. 24. North-East: District of Maroantsetra and Sambava: FAO will provide 63 tons of seeds: 30 tons of rice, 10 tons of maize, 15 tons of beans and 8 tons of groundnuts to approximately 16.000 affected farmers families, to be distributed by the implementing partner CARE. 25. With a 66 000 USD support from the Conseil General de La Reunion (La Reunion Island General Council), MDM will distribute 5 000 liters of cooking oil and 13 mt of sugar in complement of CARE food distribution, benefiting 1 000 identified vulnerable families in 6 communes.

  • A New Species of Critically Endangered Edible Yam Endemic to Northern Madagascar, Dioscorea Irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and Its Conservation
    KEW BULLETIN (2017) 72:15 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-017-9677-6 ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) A new species of critically endangered edible yam endemic to northern Madagascar, Dioscorea irodensis (Dioscoreaceae) and its conservation Paul Wilkin1 , James A. Kennerley2, Mamy Tiana Rajaonah3, Geodain Meva Huckël4, Feno Rakotoarison4, Tianjanahary Randriamboavonjy3 & Stuart Cable1 Summary. Morphological character data are used to show that a distinct morphotype of Dioscorea L. from the Irodo valley (East of Sadjoavato) in Antsiranana Province of Madagascar is an undescribed species, differing in its leaf arrangement, pubescence form and male inflorescence structure from all other taxa. It is described as Dioscorea irodensis Wilkin, Rajaonah & Randriamb., illustrated and a distribution map and ecological information provided. It is known from three sites, but is likely to have been eradicated from one of them. The population that has been studied in the field contains a very low number of adult plants. Tubers have been extracted for use as food at a level that appears to be unsustainable. Thus its provisional IUCN conservation status assessment is that it is critically endangered (CR). Its vernacular name in Irodo is Bemandry. Famintinana. Ny toetra sy ny bikan’ny oviala dia azo ampiasaina hanehoana fa miavaka ny oviala iray, izay hita tao anatin’ny lohasahan’Irodo (Atsinanan’i Sadjoavato, faritanin’Antsiranana) ao Avaratr’i Madagasikara, ary tsy mbola voasoritra ny mombamomba azy. Mampihavaka azy amin’ny hafa ireto toetra manaraka ireto: ny fipetraky ny ravina, ny fisian’ny volo, sy ny firafitry ny tahom-bony lahy eo aminy. Nosoritana ho Dioscorea irodensis Wilkin, Rajaonah & Randriamb.

  • Repoblikan'ny Madagasikara
    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.

  • Annual Report 2019
    © Sam Cotton, Bristol Zoo Gardens ANNUAL REPORT 2019 A MESSAGE FROM THE AEECL PRESIDENT It seems strange to be looking back a year after the awful events that 2020 has seen so far and with the full horror of the coronavirus epidemic sweeping across the globe. However, this report focuses on the AEECL activities in 2019 so I will mainly concentrate on the progress we made last year within the Sahamalaza National Park. Our biggest challenge in 2019 was replacing the AEECL truck. For those of you who have been lucky enough to visit this area of Madagascar you would be only too aware of the severe restrictions on travelling due to the poor infrastructure of the roads between the villages and main cities. Without our trusty 4x4 to get AEECL team members from A to B we would not be able to carry out our vital work and with little funds available for such purchases we had no choice but to turn to our wonderful members and the wider zoo community. We were so delighted and grateful to get such a fantastic response and we are so indebted to those collections that have helped us keep mobile by funding a new truck. Thank you so much to Opel Zoo, Mulhouse Zoological & Botanical Park, Zoo La Palmyre, Zoo Heidelberg, Zoological Society of East Anglia, Parc Merveilleux, Zoological Society of Hertfordshire and to our major donator Wilhelma Zoo. 2019 also saw the continuation of the new Ankarafa Field Station construction. This will be an amazing upgrade to the facilities of the AEECL and is being generously supported by Bristol Zoo Gardens in the UK.
