First and foremost, however, the World Food Programme (WFP) is grateful for the support of the Government of Madagascar —especially the local authorities and the Chefs de Région. Colleagues from UN system agencies and civil society organisations participating also provided insights and suggestions during the preparatory and implementation phases of the survey. In particular, thanks go to SIRSA/SAP, the EU, UNICEF, LINKAGES/USAID, the Nutrition Department of the Ministry of Health, the National Institute of Statistics, the ROR/UPP/PADR and the DSI/FIVIMS of the Ministry of Agriculture, the PNSAN of the Ministry of Education. In turn, and in large measure, the survey could never have been implemented without the dedicated participation and professionalism of WFP Madagascar, the VAM Officers Maherisoa Rakotonirainy and Vera Mayer, and all the CFSVA Team members - especially during the data collection phase. Special appreciation and thanks go to Oscar Sarroca and Gianluca Ferrera. Technical assistance during various stages of the process was provided by Eric Kenefick, Sylvie Montembault, Veronica Rammala, Patrick McKay, and Stein Vikan from the WFP Regional Bureau in Johannesburg, and from Livia Peiser (for the spatial analysis), Andrea Berardo (for his multivariate analysis and work with country team), Jan Delbaere and Cédric Charpentier from the VAM Unit in WFP Headquarters. A final token of appreciation goes to ECHO who provided the resources necessary to carry out such an effort and for which WFP is grateful.
