From February 16, 2019 to February 28, 2019, the Program provided technical, financial, and logistics support to district health management teams to conduct measles investigations in three districts and campaigns in six Program districts. In addition, the Program’s teams participated in regional and district microplanning exercises, as well as taking an active part in overall coordination and monitoring efforts at the national level through the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) crisis unit and sub-committees for campaign response, communication, case management and surveillance to address the epidemic and plan future rounds of targeted measles campaigns. Details of the Program’s support during this period are presented below: 139 Ministry of Health (MOH) staff, 675 community health volunteers (CHVs), 174 fokontany heads, and 74 members of commune commissions for health development (CCDS) received training on community disease surveillance with a focus on measles. Technical, financial, and logistic support to 6 district measles campaigns in Menabe and DIANA Regions: Ambilobe, Ambanja, Antsiranana I, Antsiranana II, Mahabo, and Nosy Be districts. 1723 measles cases treated, 1583 children vaccinated, and 9 measles-related deaths were confirmed through Regional and District Health Management Team investigations in 3 districts (Maintirano, Mitsinjo, and Sambava) supported by the Program. Technical support to Bealanana district, Sofia region for measles campaign micro-planning. Logistic support for the distribution of medicine from district stores to health centers for the management of measles cases in SAVA region. Regional radio broadcasts on the importance of vaccinations, vaccination safety, and measles information. 5 Project Implementation Figure 1- Mahefa Miaraka’s Regions and Districts The USAID Community Capacity for Health Program, locally known as Mahefa Miaraka, is a five-year (2016-2021) community-based integrated health program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Program is a collaborative effort between the MOH, USAID, and JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI). The Program provides tools and capacity-building training to about 10,000 CHVs, in addition to working with national and local government actors to strengthen the health system and health policies. The Program plays an especially important role in the community-level response to the measles epidemic by mobilizing communities to vaccinate their children and to promptly seek care for measles in coordination with health officials through CHVs, as well as local and traditional leaders. Mahefa Miaraka operates in 4,885 fokontany (FKT), 456 communes, and 34 districts in the Analanjirofo, Boeny, DIANA, Melaky, Menabe, SAVA, and Sofia regions. Because of this reach, the Program has the potential to provide services to approximately 6.1 million people, or 23.3 percent of the country’s total population (Figure 1). Since October 2018, Madagascar has experienced a serious measles epidemic with 79, 6991 measles cases reported to February 28, 2019. Consequently, the Program’s efforts and resources have been mobilized to assist the MOH in its efforts to prepare for and fight against the epidemic, especially as the epidemic spread to all regions of the country. The Program continues to take an active part in national coordination meetings on the measles epidemic response with the Directorate of the Expanded Program on Immunization (Direction du Programme Elargi de Vaccination or DPEV), and in weekly crisis committee meetings for the conduct and monitoring of the first two phases of the national measles campaign. In addition, since the beginning of the epidemic, the Program has provided technical, financial and logistic support to regional and district health management teams for measles campaigns in 8 districts (Ambanja, Ambilobe, Antalaha, Antsiranana I, Antsiranana II, Mahabo, Morandava, and Nosy Be) and community field investigations in 5 districts, with 6 of these campaigns and 3 of the field investigations taking place during this reporting period. In further support of the measles epidemic response, the Program has also trained MOH district health management teams, health center heads, members of local health coordination committees, Fokontany heads, and community health volunteers on community surveillance, including identification and referral of measles cases. Under the direction of DPEV’s Social Mobilization Committee, the Program also contributed to the development of radio messages on measles and the importance of vaccination in light of the current outbreak. Details of the Program team’s measles response activities from February 16, 2019 to February 28, 2019 are presented in the following sections of this report. 1 Ministère de la Sante Publique, Situation de La Lutte Contre La Rougeole à Madagascar, February 28, 2019. 6 Intervention Area 1 (IA1): Community Engagement and Ownership of Health Services 1. Vaccine preventable diseases (including measles) response training for community health volunteers (CHVs) One of the Program’s most important contributions in the GOM’s measles response is training community leaders at the commune and fokontany (cluster of villages) levels, CHVs, and the GOM’s health service providers at the regional, district, and commune levels to respond to the epidemic. As a result of these trainings, community actors are able to: 1) educate their community about the measles epidemic, including measles signs and symptoms, the importance of vaccination, why seeking prompt care is important, and the timing of vaccination sessions; 2) identify and list unvaccinated children and coordinate with the CSB to ensure vaccination of all children between six months to nine years of age; 3) identify and refer measles cases for treatment at the CSB; and, 4) report any measles-related deaths in the community to the head of the Fokontany and the CSB. From February 16 to February 28, 2019 the Program trained 139 district health management team and health center staff, 675 CHVs, 174 Fokontany chiefs, and 74 commune leaders on the measles epidemic and response (case signs, referral, and reporting). Since the beginning of the outbreak the Program has oriented and trained a total of 10,292 individuals on the measles epidemic for the identification of unvaccinated children and measles cases, as well as the referral of cases for treatment at the CSB (figures shown in Table 1).

Referral of suspected measles cases to CSB CHVs screen cases and refer suspected measles cases. The Program routinely monitors how many suspected measles cases CHVs report to CSBs. During the reporting period, CHVs also conducted health education sessions to inform their community about signs of suspected cases and the need for 7 community members to report suspected cases immediately to CHVs and/or the CSB. In the month of January 20192, CHVs had identified and referred 2,235 cases of measles for

Taxonomy Historically, many synonyms were introduced, such as Chamaeleo ater, niger, guen- theri, longicauda, axillaris, krempfi. The term “locale” is used in captive management only; it has no taxonomic relevance and refers to the distinct subpopulations named usually after a village within its (often not isolated and well defined) range, differing from each other through unique color- Taxonomy ation and patterns, mainly males. The distinguished “locales” are as follows: Ambanja, Ambilobe, Ampitabe, Androngombe, Ankaramy, Ankarana (E and W), Andapa, Anki- fy, Antalaha, Antsiranana (Diego Suarez), Beramanja, Cap Est, Djangoa, Fenoarivo, Mahavelona, Mangaoka, Manambato, Mananara, Maroantsetra, Marojejy, Nosy Be, Nosy Boraha, Nosy Faly, Nosy Mangabe, Nosy Mitsio, Sambava, Sambirano, Soanier- ana Ivongo, Toamasina (Tamatave), Vohimana.

    IOTC-2018-WPDCS14-13 REPOBLIKAN’NY MADAGASIKARA FITIAVANA-TANINDRAZANA-FANDROSOANA ____________________________ MINISTERE DES RESSOURCES HALIEUTIQUES ET DE LA PECHE UNITE STATISTIQUE THONIERE D’ANTSIRANANA (USTA) 14TH WORKING PARTY ON DATA COLLECTION AND STATISTICS Victoria-Seychelles, 29th November to 1st December 2018 Gaillord JAONA Yacinthe RAZAFIMANDIMBY ABSTRACT In the framework to improve the fishery statistics in Madagascar, the Ministry of Fisheries, through the Unité Statistique Thonière d’Antsiranana, initiated in 2015 a monitoring system for small-scale and artisanal fisheries of pelagic fish in northern Madagascar with two pilot villages. Since 2016, Monitoring has been expanded in other villages where network of investigators have been established in the various potential fishing areas. At each catch landings, an investigator collects tuna catch data and other catches, and also performs sampling. The date of landing, the time at sea, fishing zone, the weight and total number of individuals landed are recorded; and measurements of tuna and tuna like species are conducted. According to the catch monitoring since the pilot phase in 2015, it can be seen that the tuna season in the northern waters of Madagascar is from June to October. In 2016, catches from small-scale fisheries in these two pilot villages reached 102 tons, including 59 tons of tuna and 43 tons of other catches. The tuna average catch is estimated at 5.3 tons per month. In 2017, total catches in the North of Madagascar reached 3 704 tons including 80 tons of tuna and 4 tons of swordfish from 192 692 landings. Indeed, tuna represents only 2% of total catch for these villages because small-scale and artisanal fishermen still face a challenge, which is the lack of appropriate equipment for catching tuna and tuna like species.
