EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides key results of the FY 2014 outcome monitoring survey (OMS) conducted in the USAID-funded community health care project that is being implemented by the MAHEFA project in the following regions: DIANA, SAVA, SOFIA, Boeny, Melaky and Menabe. A baseline survey of the MAHEFA project on key health outcome indicators was carried out in 2012. The results of that survey showed a low level of critical child health indicators such as the percentage of fully immunized children before age one (19%), the percentage of children between 6-59 months of age receiving vitamine A during the last six months (11.4%) and poor access to improved drinking water source and sanitation. Although a low percentage of women were exposed to family planning messages (12.9%), contraceptive rate was 26.9%. A proportion of 33.2% of women were seen at Antenatal Care (ANC) at least four times during their pregnancy, and a higher percentage, almost the half of birth was attended by skilled healthcare providers such as a doctor, a nurse or a midwife. Summary of findings of the 2014 OMS: I.A. MATERNAL HEALTH AND FAMILY PLANNING From the onset of the project to the end of September 20141, the proportion of women seen at ANC at least four times during their pregnancy has significantly increased, from 33.2% to 67.3%. The percentage of birth attended by skilled health providers has also increased, from 49.9% to 77.7%. Modern contraceptive prevalence rate (MCPR) has increased from 26.9% to 41.3%. The percentage of Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) who were exposed to family planning Information-Education-Communication/Behavioral Communication Change Communication (IEC/BCC) messages also increased from 12.9% to 80.3%. Among them, 48.4% received the messages from Community Health Volunteers (CHVs), the remaining has heard messages through other channels such as other healthcare providers (56.3%), television (10.9%), newspapers, posters and books (1.1%). The above data indicated evidences of effective mass and Interpersonal Communication (IPC) through CHVs that rose general awareness of Family Planning (FP) among women. However, there is a need to strength IPC through CHVs in order to individually identify and satisfy the unmet need for FP, reported by 30.6% of women (DHS 2008: 19%). I.B. WATER, SANITATION AND DIARRHEAL DISEASE The results showed a significant increase of the percentage of households having access to improved drinking water source, from 46.8% to 65.2%. Although 24.8% of the interviewed 1 USAID Fiscal Year is from October 01 to September 30. Outcome Monitoring Survey in the MAHEFA Areas - 1 - households reported practice of effective water treatment, it was observed that only 1.6% did it correctly for water boiling; the correct use is close to zero for other techniques such as Sur‘eau. The proportion of households having access to private and improved sanitation facilities has increased from 3.1% in 2012, to 9.8% in 2014. But open defecation was still reported by 39.9% of the households in 2014. An increase in the diarrhea prevalence was reported among children under five of age (CU5), from 5.5% at baseline to 10.3% in 2014. I. C. NUTRITION The percentage of children under six months of age (CU6) exclusively breastfed in the past 24 hours was high: 95.9%. About 39% of Children under two of age (CU2) were weighted during Growth Monitoring and Promotion (GMP) in the last two months. Respectively, 0.5%, 1.7% and 97.8% of the measured children were in the red, yellow, green Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) zones. However, moderate and severe hunger was experienced by 6.7% of the surveyed households. I.D. MALARIA The percentage of households with at least one Insecticide Treated Net (ITN) was at 82.9%. At baseline, the overall ITN coverage was significantly higher, 91.8%. However, the percentages of women and CU5 who slept under ITN and/or in a house sprayed with IRS the previous night were of 52.5% and 67.9%, respectively. Malaria prevalence was low, 0.3%. A proportion of 8.2% of children with fever were treated by CHVs. I.E. HEALTH SYSTEM There were 4.5% of households that reported having access to the MAHEFA innovative transportation system, but only 0.3% has used it. Besides, 0.1% reported membership of health mutual promoted by MAHEFA. I. F. COMMUNITY HEALTH VOLUNTEERS A proportion of 36.1% of CHVs are certified on Family Planning 4 and 22.9% are polyvalent, with three or more qualifications (PF4, IEC/Counseling, and Sexually Transmitted Infections, Child Health or others). The percentage of CHVs providing counseling on Family Planning/Reproductive Health (FP/RH) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) was 46.9%. Although the majority of CHVs (91.5%) reported no stock-out of injectable contraceptives, it was found that 42.2% experienced stock-outs of Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) and/or Zinc supplements. Although an increase in diarrhea prevalence among CU5 was found. Overall, the results of this survey highlight better status for several maternal and child health indicators.

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.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Defining species limits and describing species of ants are important to identify taxa and habitats with elevated diversity in areas of high conservation priority such as the Malagasy region. The Pachycondyla wasmannii-group is revised in the Malagasy region where eight species are recognized, four of which are new: P. ma soa la sp. n., P. planicornis sp. n., P. tavaratra sp. n., and P. v azimb a sp. n. Four species have been previously described: P. ca mbo ue i Forel, P. comorensis (André), P. perroti Forel, and P. wasmannii Forel. Pachycondyla perroti admista Forel is newly synonymized under P. perroti. Pachycondyla cambouei is widespread in eastern Madagascar, morphologically variable, and divided into seven morphotypes. An identification key to species and distribution maps are provided for the genus in the Malagasy region. All species are known only from Madagascar except P.
