  • Les Savoirs Du Territoire En Imerina (Hautes Terres Centrales De Madagascar)
    Le territoire, lien ou frontière ? Paris, 2-4 octobre 1995 Les savoirs du territoire en Imerina (Hautes terres centrales de Madagascar) Chantal BLANC-PAMARD CEA/CNRS Sur les Hautes Terres centrales de Madagascar, les Merina sont des gens de territoire. Imerina est un toponyme, Merina un parler et un ethnonyme. Selon les traditions historiques merina les plus répandues, le nom de Merina1 ne serait en usage que depuis le règne de Ralambo, à la fin du XVIème siècle. C'est à ce dernier que l'on attribue la définition de l'Imerina : "J'appelle ceci l'Imerina sous le jour (I Merina ambaniandro). Et je l'appelle l'Imerina parce que j'occupe tous les sommets; il n'y a rien qui ne soit à moi dans tout ce qui est sous la lumière du jour"2. Le toponyme ambaniandro caractérise la conception par rapport à l'axe vertical. Ce pays "sous la lumière que seul le soleil domine" est également caractérisé par le regard qu'on lui porte, à la fois ceux qui sont vus sur les hauteurs mais aussi ceux qui dominent les régions plus basses environnantes. Le rôle joué par le regard est très important pour le contrôle du territoire comme en témoignent les nombreux sites fortifiés qui coiffent les sommets des collines (Mille, 1970). Un roi merina disait lors de sa conquête : "A moi toutes ces hauteurs (manerinerina)"3. On notera également l'importance du terme maso qui signifie œil. Le soleil est masoandro l'œil du jour; la source est masondrano œil de l'eau4.

  • Report. Making the Case for Investing in Adolescent Reproductive Health
    MAKING THE CASE FOR INVESTING IN ADOLESCENT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH A Review of Evidence and PopPov Research Contributions DECEMBER 2015 www.prb.org About the Population and Poverty (PopPov) Research Initiative The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation’s Population and Poverty (PopPov) Research Initiative, in partnership with other funders, has supported a global group of researchers looking at how population dynamics affect economic outcomes. Research funded through the PopPov Initiative sheds light on pathways through which fertility, health, and population growth affect economic growth, providing insights and an evidence base relevant to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Findings show that investing in women’s health, education, and empowerment improves economic well-being for individuals and households, and contributes to economic growth. About the Author Thomas W. Merrick is a visiting scholar at the Population Reference Bureau (PRB). He has served as adviser for the Learning Program on Poverty Reduction, Reproductive Health, and Health Sector Strengthening at the World Bank Institute; as senior adviser for Population and Reproductive Health for the Human Development Network at the World Bank; as president of PRB; and as director of the Center for Population Research at Georgetown University. Acknowledgments This report was made possible by the generous support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

  • Ambohimanga (Madagascar) Millennium BC)
    the construction of rova or fortified royal enclosures (analogous to hillforts in western Europe during the 1st Ambohimanga (Madagascar) millennium BC). On the summits, woodland was kept for practical and spiritual reasons but the forest on No 950 lower ground was cleared to provide the economic base for such places to exist. Agricultural terraces were also constructed on the lower hill-slopes. In effect, the cultural landscape was in place by the 16th century. The only major change since then has been the removal of upland forest on the neighbouring heights to Ambohimanga during the French colonial period. Ambohimanga itself originated in at least the 15th Identification century and by the 18th century, particularly under Nomination The Royal Hill of Ambohimanga Andriantsimitoviaminandriana (1740–45), had developed into a capital with defences and seven gates. Location Municipality of Ambohimanga Outer defences and seven more gates were added, Rova, Province of Antananarivo probably before 1794 when the royal palace was moved Avaradrano to Antananarivo, leaving Ambohimanga as the royal burial place and religious capital.

The Date 7 July 2000 palace Fandriampahalemana and the glass pavilion Tranofitaratra were added in 1871. In March 1897 the mortal remains of royalty were transferred to Antananarivo by the French colonial authorities in a failed attempt to erase the holiness of the site and the nationalistic legitimacy attached to it. The royal tombs were demolished and military buildings Justification by State Party erected in their stead for the garrison on the site.

  • Madagascar Report
    Madagascar Gender Lens Entrepreneurship and Investing Report MADAGASCAR GENDER LENS ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INVESTING REPORT Madagascar is an island nation that, despite projected GDP growth and increased public investment, remains one of the poorest countries in the world. The majority of Malagasy people reside in rural areas where 1 in 3 citizens lack access to improved water sources. The youthful population (approximately 50% of Madagascar’s 26.3 million residents are under the age of 18) faces numerous challenges from their earliest days, including some of the highest malnutrition rates globally. Malagasy girls must confront unique cultural and social barriers, which prevent many of them from achieving their educational and professional potentials. Paired with high poverty rates, much progress is needed to ensure that every girl in Madagascar has the foundational resources they need to not only survive as children but also excel as adults. Madagascar’s geographic location and topography present additional opportunities and challenges. Known for its rich and rare biodiversity, the country’s unique environment is at high risk of the impacts from climate change - the repercussions of which have been deeply felt following recurring natural events such as cyclones and El Niño. Poverty and lack of resources further forces many to turn to survival methods that contribute to deforestation and environmental degradation. This is especially true in areas historically impacted by drought, where 98% of residents live below the national poverty line. Already, the impacts from environmental degradation and human activities have contributed to an estimated 80% loss in natural areas. If continued, this trend could present devastating consequences to the well-being of both local environments and inhabitants.

    Land access in rural Africa: Strategies to fight gender inequality FAO-Dimitra workshop – September 2008 Land access in rural Africa: Strategies to fight gender inequality FAO-Dimitra workshop: Information and communication strategies to fight gender inequality as regards land access and its consequences for rural populations in Africa 22-26 September 2008 – Brussels, Belgium For Marie Mwira © Dimitra Dear Marie, This publication is dedicated to you, the brave and tireless activist for women’s rights and peace in the Great Lakes Region. You impressed us with your courage and strength in such a difficult environment. The last time we met you, in February 2008, you told us how many of Africa’s problems were connected to customary discrimination against women and to land control issues. Your strategies for dealing with these problems – information campaigns to repackage and disseminate texts and conventions on human rights, education, exchanging experiences, advocacy, and so on – would have fit in perfectly with this document. We will never forget you. The Dimitra team and its partners Marie Mwira was President of the Réseau Femme et Développement (REFED – Women and Development Network) in North Kivu as well as President of the organisation Genre et Tradition pour le Développement et la Paix au Nord-Kivu (Gender and Tradition for Development and Peace in North Kivu). She died of a heart attack in Goma on 2 December 2008. © Dimitra Thérèse, a widow, lives in a camp for displaced people near her native “ hill (colline).
