PPCR/SC.21/8 November 13, 2017 Meeting of the PPCR Sub-Committee Washington D.C. Tuesday, December 12 – Wednesday, December 13, 2017 Agenda Item 8 PPCR STRATEGIC PROGRAM FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE FOR MADAGASCAR PROPOSED DECISION The PPCR Sub-Committee, having reviewed the document PPCR/SC.21/8, Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) for Madagascar [endorses] the SPCR. The Sub-Committee encourages the Government of Madagascar and the MDBs to actively seek resources from other bilateral or multilateral sources to fund further development and implementation of the projects foreseen in the strategic plan. STRATEGIC PROGRAM FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE: MADAGASCAR PILOT PROGRAM FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE CELLULE DE PREVENTION ET GESTION BUREAU NATIONAL DE COORDINATION DES DES URGENCES CHANGEMENTS CLIMATIQUES (CPGU) (BNCCC) Template for Summary of SPCR1 Pilot Program for Climate Resilience Summary of Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (1) Country/Region: MADAGASCAR (2) PPCR Funding Request (in USD Grant: 165 Million USD Loan: million): (3 National PPCR Focal Point: Mamy Nirina RAZAKANAIVO (4) National Implementing Agency CPGU (Cellule de Prévention et Gestions des Urgences) (Coordination of Strategic Program): (5) Involved MDB World Bank and African Development Bank (6) MDB PPCR Focal Point and Project/ Headquarters-PPCR Focal Point: TTL: Program Task Team Leader (TTL): Kanta Kumari RIGAUD (World Bank) Michel MATERA (World Bank) Leandro Azevedo (African development Zinso BOUE (African Development Bank) Bank) (7) Description of SPCR: (a) Key challenges related to vulnerability to climate change/variability: Madagascar faces significant risks imposed by an increasingly variable and changing climate. Cyclones, droughts and floods are all recurrent occurrences in the country, affecting food security, drinking water supply and irrigation, public health systems, environmental management and development prospects overall. In a country of predominantly rural and vulnerable population, climate change is expected to disproportionately affect farmers (about 80% of the population) and make their livelihoods even more precarious. Malagasy smallholders, especially female-led households, are particularly at risk owing to their high dependence on rain-fed agriculture, chronic food insecurity, physical isolation and the lack of access to social safety nets. In urban settings, an unplanned and rapid expansion of informal settlements and the increasing frequency and intensity of weather events is a risk-multiplying equation. While the rural poor are expelled from their land and climate-induced migrants seek alternative livelihoods in cities, urban plans and building codes are not in place and new settlements sprout in areas prone to flooding, landslides or cyclones. The intensification of risks requires for the authorities to adapt their rural and urban development strategies and implement policies that are more resilient: more could be done to better equip national institutions, to develop sector-specific responses and integrate climate risks into planning and to build financial resilience. (b) Areas of Intervention – sectors and themes To address its climate adaptation challenges, Malagasy stakeholders engaged in the SPCR formulation process have decided to guide the program according to five guiding principles that have oriented thematic interventions: (2) Spatial resilience: acknowledgement of the particular challenges of different regions in the country, (3) Sectorial resilience: addressing sector-specific vulnerabilities in priority sectors, (4) Communities’ resilience: applying a community-based adaptation approaches, (5) Infrastructures’ resilience: ensuring the climate-proofing of public investments, (6) Fiscal resilience (addressing the vulnerability of public finances to climate shocks. Vulnerable sectors where program interventions have been selected include: • Hydrometeorology: enhancing hydro-meteorological services to allow a better management of climate risks. • Urban: upgrading public infrastructure to protect vulnerable communities and avoid macroeconomic loss. • Coastal management: introducing innovative approaches to equip communities and local authorities facing climate risks in the coastline. • Social protection: strengthening social safety nets and lifeline infrastructure to reduce extreme vulnerability. • Agriculture: supporting irrigation infrastructure to spur agribusiness productivity and job creation. • Biodiversity: promoting ecotourism as a means to diversify livelihoods and build resilience. ii (c) Expected Outcomes from the Implementation of the SPCR • Climate knowledge base, institutional capacities and policy frameworks for climate resilience are strengthened • Capacities of the hydro-meteorological services fortified to provide user-oriented data that can inform planners • Selected basic services and flood-control infrastructure of Greater Antananarivo is enhanced improving the living conditions of vulnerable communities and strengthening capacities for integrated climate risk management • Selected coastal cities have developed capacities to respond to climate impacts and communities have enhanced their resilience. • Social protection and basic infrastructure in the Grand Sud region is scaled-up building the resilience of extremely vulnerable selected communities. • Irrigation infrastructure developed enhancing agricultural production and food security in the Grand Sud region. • Conditions for the deployment of ecotourism schemes in preserved areas are enhanced contributing to green growth and biodiversity protection (8) Expected Key results from the Implementation of the Investment Strategy (consistent with PPCR Results Framework): A. TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT: Increased resilience of communities and sectors most exposed to climate variability and change in Madagascar Results Success Indicators (indicative) Increased resilience of highly vulnerable households, • Percentage of people with year-round access to reliable and communities, sectors, society, livelihoods and assets to safe water supply (domestic, agricultural) and whose livelihoods climate variability and climate change – PPCR Result A1 have improved in areas of PPCR intervention • Number of people supported by the PPCR to cope with the disaggregated by gender, effects of climate change, disaggregated by gender – PPCR Core Indicator A1.3 Strengthened integration of Degree of integration of climate change in government planning climate change into development (fiscal protection tools operational; Number national, sectoral and planning – PPCR Core Result A2 local plans and budgets integrating climate risks) – link to PPCR Core Indicators A2.1/A2.2 B.
