Acute hunger is measured by key indicators such as household food consumption, livelihood behaviors, child nutritional status, mortality, access to clean drinking water and other contextual factors. The HungerMapLIVE primarily tracks trends on household food consumption, consumption-based coping and livelihood changes to track multiple aspects of food insecurity. As these are outcome level 1 indicators in the Integrated Food Security Phase Classication (IPC) Framework, they can provide early indications of potential shifts in acute food insecurity.

CREDIT: WSSCC / DAVE TROUBA COVER: COMMUNITY-LED TOTAL SANITATION ACTIVITIES IN ANDOUNG SNAY VILLAGE, BATHEAY DISTRICT, CAMBODIA. CREDIT: WSSCC / HAKIM HADJEL NOTE TO THE READER This report provides the latest information on the Global Sanitation Fund (GSF), established by the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) in 2008 to boost finances into countries with high needs for sanitation. Currently operational in 13 countries in Asia and Africa, GSF supports national programmes developed through a consultative process led by governments, with involvement of local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), associations, academic institutions, private sector companies, and international development partners. All programmes supported by GSF address the problem of inadequate sanitation and hygiene by focusing on methods of changing behaviour. These include a combination of participatory approaches, including community-led total sanitation (CLTS), securing the active involvement of local governments and other institutions and supporting the supply chain through promoting entrepreneurship in the marketing of sanitation solutions and services. In this report, the reader will find the main results in headline form for the GSF as of 31 December 2014. Also presented are cumulative numerical results in a dashboard, for the GSF as a whole and for each country that has reached the implementation phase, and descriptions of the various results indicators. The country profiles provide more detail on the national GSF-supported activities. Other sections present the GSF’s key developments in 2014, monitoring and evaluation aspects, and a full listing of active Sub-grantees.

Dans ce contexte, nous avons étudié l'évolution des spinelles chromifères et du magmatisme ultramafique à Andriamena. La région d'Andriamena fait partie du socle cristallin précambrien de Madagascar, sur la nappe de Tsaratanana. L'Unité d'Andriamena (UA) est formée d'orthogneiss et de corps mafiques-ultramafiques. Trois événements tectono-métamorphiques successifs ont affecté les formations de l'UA, ces événements sont associés à trois phases de déformation. Les lentilles des ultramafites présentent une pseudo-zonation tectonique avec une pseudo-zone de bordure de diorite et de granodiorite et une pseudo-zone de cœur avec une sous-zone médiane d'hornblendite plagioclasique et une sous-zone d'ultramafites. La chromite automorphe est le minéral majeur des rubans massifs et submassifs de chromitites des ultramafites.

    SUPPLY AND MARKET OUTLOOK January 31, 2018 Madagascar KEY MESSAGES Figure 1. Rice, maize and cassava production (2011-2017) • Between October and November 2017, a series of market assessments were conducted across Southern Africa by FEWS NET, in collaboration with key national and international partners. The findings from the assessment in Madagascar are key inputs to this report, which provides an update to the May 2017 Supply and Market Outlook report. • Staple food production in Madagascar was below- average in 2017. This was due to a combination of factors including Cyclone Enawo in the northeastern parts of the country, atypical dryness in many northern regions, which reduced crop yields, and relatively high cash crop prices (vanilla), which affected area planted. Harvests in southern Madagascar, were near average this year, Source: Author’s calculations based on Ministry of Agriculture data. following consecutive years of drought. At the national level, rice and maize harvests were each approximately 20 Figure 2. Local and imported rice prices, Antananarivo percent below 2016 levels and 11 to 21 percent below the five-year average. Cassava harvest saw a modest recovery compared to 2016 but remained similarly below-average (Figure 1). • Rice imports continued to play an important role in staple food supply in 2017. In response to above- average domestic supply gaps, more than 400,000 metric tons (MT) of rice were imported during the first ten months of 2017, which is 78 percent above-average and double the amount imported in 2016. • Staple food and cash crop prices are above-average. In main cities like Antananarivo, Toamasina and Antsirabe, local and imported rice prices have been particularly high since October 2017 peaking over 2,000 Ariary (MGA) per kilogram (Figure 2).
