Romancing Dahalo: the Social Environment of Cattle Theft in Ihorombe, Madagascar
Romancing Dahalo: The Social Environment of Cattle Theft in Ihorombe, Madagascar John McNair RABARIJAONA Bernadin, Project Advisor Roland Pritchett, Academic Dir ector, SIT Culture and Society 3 May 2008 1 For Amanda Burns 2 Acknowledgements Before everything, I want to thank Frère Fazio, Père Emile, Frère Sedina; the Soeurs Trinitaires de Rome who shared their splendid cooking with me; Jimmy, Donatien, and all the guys who took me in as one of their own for as long as I wanted to stay. When I showed up unannounced, you fed and housed me and acted as if it was the simplest, most natural thing in the world, for which I am grateful. And thanks to all of my informants. If there are errors in this information, it is misinterpretation on my part. I hope the spirit comes across just the same. And thanks also to RABARIJAONA Bernadin, who encouraged me to go out there and dive in, because these dahalo are just young men, and will want to tell me their adventures. “O had his powerful destiny ordained / Me some inferior angel, I had stood / Then happy; no Comment [c1]: Big problem.

Global Sanitation Fund
GLOBAL SANITATION FUND Progress Report 2014 GLOBAL SANITATION FUND ABOVE: A TOILET IN CAMBODIA’S SOUTH-EASTERN SVAY RIENG PROVINCE, BUILT IN A COMMUNITY WHERE THE GSF-FUNDED NATIONAL PROGRAMME IS BEING IMPLEMENTED. 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. -

A CASE STUDY FROM MADAGASCAR MATHILDE GINGEMBRE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sussex for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Development Studies Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex July 2017 i Mathilde Gingembre-University of Sussex ‘Being heard: local people in negotiations over large-scale land deals. A case study from Madagascar’ SUMMARY This thesis examines local people’s voices and influence in negotiations over large-scale land deals. Drawing on ethnographic work on a case study from southern Madagascar, it highlights the variety of agropastoralists’ responses to, and experienced outcomes of, the implementation of an agribusiness project on their land. The purpose of this research was to understand the conditions under which certain local people get heard, and others silenced, in the context of corporate land access and the processes by which some of these local voices manage to influence the terms and conditions of the deal. -

Central Madagascar
© Lonely Planet Publications 93 Central Madagascar Driving the thousand odd kilometres between Antananarivo and Toliara on the famous Route Nationale 7 (RN7; Route du Sud) takes you straight through Central Madagascar, where the CENTRAL MADAGASCAR scenery is as stimulating and surreal as the culture. The RN7 might be Madagascar’s busiest highway (not to mention tourist trail), but to the barefoot Bara herdsmen, walking from as far as Toliara with nothing but a stick and the clothes on their back, it’s just a footpath useful for herding hundreds of zebu to market in Antananarivo. Some parts of Central Madagascar feel as far removed from the conventional vision of Africa as possible. Glassy, terraced rice paddies juxtaposed against cool, misty mountains and thick-walled red huts constructed from crimson soil, make you think you’ve been transported to Southeast Asia. Meanwhile the expanses of green rolling hills and golden fields dotted with medieval villages and tidy rows of grapes look European. Hit a city, however, and you slam back into chaotic Africa. Brightly painted pousses-pousses (rickshaws), their drivers hus- tling hard for fares, compete with zebu carts and overpacked buses for space along rutted streets where touts hawk everything from price-guns to strawberries. To really experience Central Madagascar’s chameleonlike ability to change, you’ll have to get out of your car. There is fantastic trekking through cloud forests and volcanic craters in the region’s stunning national parks, home to vegetation and animals (lots of lemurs) found nowhere else on earth. For a more cultural experience, spend three days trekking through Betsileo villages. -
