Madagascar Sitrep Floods United Nations System Office of the Resident Coordinator – Madagascar This report is issued by Madagascar UNCT and covers the period from 10 to 16 March 2010 . The next report will be issued on or around 20 March 2010. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES o Moderate Tropical Storm HUBERT hit the east coast of Madagascar from 10 to 12 March 2010. o Seven districts are flood-stricken, including six along the south-eastern coast of Madagascar which are not accessible because some portions of the road are cut or damaged. o 11,000 people became homeless the first day after HUBERT landed according to the Malagasy Red Cross; however many of them could return to their homes after the water levels subsided The National Office for Disaster and Risk Management (BNGCR) is quoting about 1,761 displaced people on Monday 15 March. o Malagasy Red Cross has reported 40 death and 231 injuries; 28,317 people expect various problems mainly loss of harvest in the coming months. o 06 schools, 02 local health centres and 3,338 houses are damaged or flooded, one health centre is destroyed. o Priority actions have already been taken by both the national partner and the Humanitarian Country Team: mobilization of pre-stocking relief items (shelter, foods and non-food items, WASH kits, mosquito nets and medicine), evacuation of people in some isolated localities where floods are dangerous; restoration of traffic as soon as possible, free of charge management of the affected population. o First meeting of the National Humanitarian Platform on 13 March 2010: UNICEF financed the aerial assessment using the Civil Protection Corps aircraft. o A second aerial assessment is also carried out by CARE International/USAID. o An inter-cluster meeting is planned this week in order to organize a multi-sector rapid assessment if necessary, based on the recommendations of the two aerial assessments. o A Transal plane will be deployed by the Regional Platform for Indian Ocean Intervention (PIROI) as requested by the Red Cross Malagasy in order to support the logistical operation in delivering additional items from Antananarivo. II. Situation Overview Rainfall collected on 11 March Source: Malagasy Meteorological On 10 March 2010, the eastern coast of Madagascar was Department hit by moderate tropical storm HUBERT, which has already caused heavy rains for one week before transforming into a storm. HUBERT was classified as category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale with winds up to 75 km/h when it landed in the districts of Mananjary, Ifanadiana and Ambositra successively. HUBERT then made its way westward and dissipated on Friday 12 March. During these three days in land, HUBERT continued to generate heavy rains leaving desolation and floods all along the south-eastern part of the country. Heavy rains have caused the overflow of major rivers and the Pangalanes channel. According to the Malagasy Red Cross, the preliminary estimates indicate a total of 28,317 people affected by various problems including loss of harvest in the coming months 1 in five districts (Mananjary, Ikongo, Manakara, Vohipeno and Ambatondrazaka), among whom 11,000 are homeless. In addition, three schools are damaged and several rice fields are flooded. Nevertheless, telecommunication facilities are not damaged and all the airports remain functional. Pre-stocking of relief items exists in the affected regions, such as foods, tents, mosquito nets and other medicines (antibiotics, etc); UNICEF has dispatched WASH kits and materials that were pre-positioned in the nearest district (Tamatave) by boat. However, the evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Public Works has been hampered given that a number of roads and bridges have been destroyed or damaged along the national road connecting the capital Antananarivo and the four districts in the south-eastern coast. In addition, the railway linking the province of Fianarantsoa and the district of Manakara is also damaged. III. Humanitarian Needs and Response Education • Needs: In the coming days, it is important that children go back to school and that the three shools that have been damaged be rehabilited. Affected communes needs tarpaulin, school tents and education kits. • Response, including local government: will be defined when the results of the current rapid assessment are known. • Key gaps in the response: N/A Emergency Shelter and Camp coordination • Needs: 11,000 people became homeless the first day after HUBERT according to the Malagasy Red Cross, but on Monday 15 March 2010, many of them had returned to their homes after the water levels had subsided. • Response, including local government: Local authorities have used schools and administrative offices to accommodate the homeless. The National Office for Disaster and Risk Management (BNGRC) has distributed in six districts (Mananjary, Nosy Varika, Ikongo, Manakara, Vohipeno and Ambatondrazaka) the following items: 73 tons of rice, 700 quilts and 700 bed sheets. UNICEF has also provided 900 bed sheets, and the Malagasy Red Cross is ensuring camp coordination.. • Key gaps in the response: Many people have lost goods and utensils during the flood and further assessment is needed to identify the gaps. Food security and livelihoods • Needs: It is still too early to identify the needs; most of the rice fields in the seven districts affected, and crop foods (cassava, beans in the district of Mananjary, and maize in Manakara) are still submerged. • Response, including local government: N/A for the moment. A cluster meeting will be held by WFP/FAO in the coming days. WFP commodities have already been prepositioned in Nosy Varika 97.5 MT with ADRA, Mananjary 130 MT with ADRA, Farafangana 97.5 MT with CARITAS. In Farafangana, 1,983 persons affected were assisted with rations for 3 days. A total of 3 MT of commodities were distributed by WFP and CARITAS. In this locality, affected populations started to return home. WFP will send 2 MT of biscuits to Manakara using the Transal plane provided by PIROI; WFP under the cluster approach will be ready to conduct later a food security assessment, recovery activities under food-for-work modality will be implemented. In addition, WFP will continue to support the affected population through its regular activities, with particular attention to orphans and persons affected by TB/HIV. (13,144 orphans and 1,716 for TB/HIV). • Key gaps in the response: N/A 2 Health • Needs: the most urgent need is to provide timely basic services to the affected people, in particular those homeless. • Response, including local government: Health sector actors under the lead of WHO and Ministry of Health coordinated their interventions and mobilized immediately their pre-stocked relief items mainly provided by WHO in the seven districts to ensure free of charge management of affected population, in particular those homeless. Epidemic surveillance has also been reinforced. In addition, BNGRC and UNICEF distributed 2,100 and 600 units of mosquito nets to the displaced population respectively. The response is organized through the health cluster to support the efforts of the Ministry of Health at the field level. To this end, national cluster (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA and Malagasy Red Cross) will reinforce the field level and carry out a rapid assessment including looking into the requirements in reproductive health. • Key gaps in the response: further assessment is required to identify the gaps. Logistics • Needs: Given the extensive number of affected and isolated areas and the topography of the eastern coast of Madagascar, logistic support is complex and it is expensive to deliver additional food and non- food items to the eastern coast. Several portions of the national road remain cut. • Response, including local government: The Ministry of Public Works is working to restore the traffic between the capital of Antananarivo and the eastern coast as soon as possible; the Civil Protection Corps was deployed to support the Ministry and the local authorities in evacuating people; the BNGRC has provided fuel for the evacuation. One the other hand, UNICEF has financed an aerial assessment by using Civil Protection Corps aircraft to assess the severity and the impacts of the floods in the isolated communes and along the national road. • Key gaps in the response: The delivery of food, non foods-items and basic services, and the support to the evacuation will be a serious problem in the coming days if the damaged road portions are not repaired in a short time. Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene • Needs: the most urgent need is to timely provide access to water and hygiene (latrines) to homeless people and water treatment for the affected communes. • Response, including local government: UNICEF has deployed a team from Antananarivo and delivered WASH kits from the district of Tamatave to support WASH intervention on the eastern coast. The NGO Saint-Gabriel ensures dispatch of those kits and materials at the field level. • Key gaps in the response: assessment by UNICEF field team is ongoing. IV. Coordination In the event of a natural disaster, as set forth in the National Contingency Plan which has been revised in November 2009, the National Office for Disaster and Risk Management ( Bureau National de Gestion des Risques et des Catastrophes - BNGRC), coordinates all interventions in collaboration with its partners (national NGOs, ministries, etc.) with support from the Humanitarian Country Team. The first meeting of the Humanitarian Platform, which comprises the BNGRC, UN agencies, NGOs and local partners, took place on 13 March 2010 during which the decision was made to conduct an aerial assessment using a Civil Protection Corps aircraft. Additionally, CARE International has carried out a detailed aerial assessment. The two evaluations are still ongoing. A second meeting of the Humanitarian Platform is scheduled on 16 March 2010. UNICEF has deployed a multi-sectoral team (Wash, Health, Education, Communication and Logistic Officers) in the affected areas to support the assessment and response activities conducted by its NGO partners.

    United Nations Nations Unies Office of the Resident Coordinator Madagascar • Cyclone Giovanna Situation Report #3– 18 February 2012 I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES The two joint assessments teams are back to the capital and are processing information collected in cyclone-affected areas. Delivery of humanitarian assistance is ongoing in the severely affected areas, namely in the districts of Brickaville, Vatomandry and Moramanga (in eastern Madagascar), and the capital Antananarivo. To date, 17 deaths have been reported, while the number of people injured is estimated at 65. At present, 3,226 people are still displaced in temporary shelters, in particular in the districts of Brickaville, Vatomandry, Mahanoro, Mampikony and the capital Antananarivo. The rest of those reportedly displaced have already returned home. The number of damaged schools is estimated at 41. The majority of them are located in Brickaville and Antananarivo. Prepositioned stocks are currently being distributed. The BNGRC has announced that it will initiate fundraising locally with bilateral donors, depending on the needs. II. Situation Overview The National Disaster Risk Management Office (BNGRC) and partners continue to process information being received from the field on the impacts of the Cyclone. Giovanna caused the death of 17 people while 65 are injured, and 3,226 people are still displaced in temporary shelters. Damage to infrastructure is also being assessed, particularly in the sectors of education, health and agriculture. The first aerial assessment missions conducted by Medair and Care International confirmed that the districts of Brickaville and Vatomandry are the most severely affected areas. However, none of the data received so far have been confirmed by physical ground check, meaning the exact number of vulnerable people is still unknown.

  • THE LOGANIACEAE of AFRICA XIV a Revision of Nuxia Lam
    582.935.4:581.4/.S +581.9(6) MEDEDELINGEN LANDBOUWHOGESCHOOL WAGENINGEN • NEDERLAND • 75-8 (1975) THE LOGANIACEAE OF AFRICA XIV A revision ofNuxi a Lam. A. J. M. LEEUWENBERG Laboratory of Plant Taxonomy andPlant Geography, Agricultural University, Wageningen, The Netherlands (Received 24-111-1975) Published 19-VIII197 5 INTRODUCTION The present publication is a revision on a monographic basis of the genus Nuxia. The genus is restricted to Africa where the present author had theop ­ portunity to study the most variable species, N. congesta, in the field in two dif­ ferent countries, viz. Cameroun and Ivory Coast. Fortunately most herbarium specimens proved to be well preserved and richly flowering or fruiting. HISTORY OF THE GENUS LA.MA.RCK (1791) founded the genus Nuxia on the basis of a single species, N.verticillata. PERSOON (1805) placed it in LINNAEUS'S Tetrandria monogynia, afterwards RAFINESQUE (1820) near Rondeletia in the Ixorineae of the Rubia- ceae, then REICHENBACH (1828) gave it a place in the Verbenaceae. Meanwhile R. BROWN (1814) named the second species N. congesta which was discovered in Ethiopia and was described only in 1838b y FRESENIUS. BENTHAM (1836) moved Nuxia to thetrib e Buddlejeae of the Scrophulariaceae and added some more species. Only one of them, however, N.floribunda, is maintained here in this genus. All the others belong to Buddleja according to, e.g., Miss I.C . VERDOORN (1958) andth epresen t author. BENTHAM was followed by MEISNER (1840), ENDLICHER (1841), REICHENBACH (1841), and KUNTH (1846), placing Nuxia there. Independently from BENTHAM, HOCHSTETTER (1843) described the new genus Lachnopylis in theLoganiaceae, based on two species, L.

  • Bulletin SISAV Système D’Information Sur La Sécurité Alimentaire Et La Vulnérabilité Dans Les Régions Vatovavy Fitovinany, Atsimo Atsinanana Et Androy L’Essentiel
    Bulletin SISAV Système d’Information sur la Sécurité Alimentaire et la Vulnérabilité dans les Régions Vatovavy Fitovinany, Atsimo Atsinanana et Androy L’essentiel La période couverte par ce numéro coïncide avec la période de soudure qui se traduit par une hausse considérable de Bulletin SISAV n°20 la vulnérabilité. Par rapport à la même période de l’année dernière, on constate une intensification de la soudure et de Période couverte: l’insécurité alimentaire. La dégradation de la situation au niveau des zones couvertes par le SISAV témoigne d’un Septembre-Octobre 2015 manque de moyens pour faire face durablement et efficacement aux aléas et chocs qui pourront survenir. Les résultats de l'analyse de la situation alimentaire dans le cadre de l'évaluation conjointe de la campagne agricole 2014-2015 confirment d'ailleurs la forte exposition à l'insécurité alimentaire de la population dans les Régions Androy et Atsimo Atsinanana où le taux des ménages en situation d’insécurité alimentaire globale atteint respectivement 76.2% et 47.2% Zone de couverture (CFSAM 2015, p.42). Le stock en aliment de base au niveau des ménages est totalement épuisé pour plusieurs Communes observées. Au niveau des marchés, la flambée des prix poursuit son cours avec l'épuisement des stocks. Les stratégies d'adaptation au détriment de l'alimentation sont les plus pratiquées par les ménages si nous ne citons que la diminution du nombre de repas par jour et la consommation d'aliments de disette. L'évolution de la situation des localités les plus exposées est à suivre de près. Des actions concrètes sont même recommandées pour renforcer les capacités de résilience des communautés concernées.

  • (COFAV) – Madagascar
    Reduced Emissions from Deforestation in the Ambositra-Vondrozo Forest Corridor (COFAV) – Madagascar Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards Project Design Document Developed By: Conservation International Version: 1.0 – 23 May, 2013 Acknowledgements Conservation International prepared this document on behalf of the Ministry of Water and Forests of Madagascar and the people living around the COFAV forest corridor. We wish to acknowledge the invaluable collaboration, support and contribution of the many organizations named in this document that have brought the COFAV project from its initial conception stage to the reality that it is today. 2 Executive Summary The Ambositra-Vondrozo Forest is located in the southern half of the humid eastern forest biome of Madagascar and is a narrow strip approximately 300 km long. A new protected area, the Ambositra-Vondrozo Forest Corridor Natural Resource Reserve is being created in this area, 135,212 hectares of which forms the project area of the Ambositra-Vondrozo Forest Corridor (COFAV) Forest Carbon Project1. The project lies on Madagascar’s eastern escarpment and links Ranomafana National Park in the north and Andringitra National Park in the south. The protection of COFAV will provide significant climate benefits through the REDD mechanism as set out in the Project Description prepared under the VCS guidelines and entitled “Reduced Emissions from Deforestation in the Ambositra-Vondrozo Forest Corridor (COFAV) – Madagascar”. It is also critically important for biodiversity as it represents one of Madagascar’s last remaining intact corridors that links areas of low, mid, and high altitude forest and allows for genetic connectivity of animal and plant populations. Over 800 species of plants and 300 species of animals have been identified in these forests, including 17 species of lemur and two highly endangered species of bamboo lemur (Hapalemur aureus and Prolemur simus).

Validation: PDD submitted for full validation of Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards, vii. History of CCBS status: first validation viii. CCBS edition: second edition ix. Project’s Climate, Community and biodiversity benefits: The protection of COFAV will provide significant climate benefits through the REDD mechanism, which aims to reduce the historical annual deforestation rate of 1 percent. The net climate impact of the project is estimated as 3,955,936 tCO2e over 10 years. It is also critically important for biodiversity as it represents one of Madagascar’s last remaining intact corridors that links areas of low, mid, and high altitude forest and allows for genetic connectivity of animal and plant populations. The protection of the corridor will also maintain the provision of freshwater for much of the center of the country as the headwaters of 25 rivers begin within this forest corridor.
