Assessing Progress of Community Managed Gravity Flow Water Supply Systems Using Rapid Rural Appraisal In ASSESSING PROGRESS OF COMMUNITY MANAGED GRAVITY FLOW WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS USING RAPID RURAL APPRASIAL IN THE IKONGO DISTRICT, MADAGASCAR By JONATHAN E. ANNIS A RESEARCH REPORT Submitted in Partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING MICHIGAN TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY 2006 Copyright © Jonathan E. Annis 2006 This report “Assessing Progress of Community Managed Gravity Flow Water Supply Systems in the Ikongo District, Madagascar” is hereby approved in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING. Civil and Environmental Engineering Master’s International Program Signatures: Report Advisor ______________________________ James R. Mihelcic Department Chair ______________________________ Neil J. Hutzler Date ______________________________ ii Preface Inspiration for this report came from the author’s experiences while serving as an Environment Peace Corps volunteer from 2003-2005 in rural Madagascar. After three months of training, I was placed in the rural village of Ikongo, spiritual home of the Antanala, a small ethnic group who lives in the southeastern part of the country. With support from the regional USAID projects, I was quickly integrated into ongoing development activities aimed at intensifying agriculture and improving public health in the region. Because of my background in environmental engineering, I developed a niche as a water and sanitation specialist providing support to multiple NGO’s working in the region. During my three years of service, I was involved in many projects including latrine building, handwashing promotion and the construction of six gravity flow water systems; providing potable water to a population of over 5,000. During this time, I was part a working environment with no regulatory oversight in which a group of men with little more than a hammer and a stamp could bid on (and sometimes win) projects in which they would be then responsible for the construction of gravity fed water supply systems in rural areas. These contractors had little regard for long term system sustainability. Due to budget constraints and shortsightedness when planning projects, little time was spent building community management capacity in villages that received water supply systems. It is in this framework that I write this report. This is my attempt to give a voice to all those who now live in villages with broken water systems partly because their system was built by a inept contractor or whose community was were never properly empowered to manage their system. Also, to plead with the thousands who wait indefinitely for the chance to taste clean water, that when their time comes we will be there to empower and support them. This report is submitted to complete my master’s degree in environmental engineering from the Master’s International Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan Technological University. iii Table of Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS..........................................................................................................................

  • Mobilizing Farmers' Knowledge of the Soil
    Chapter 18 Mobilizing Farmers' Knowledge of the Soil Domoina J. Rakotoson, Lovatiana A. Rakotonirina, and Georges Serpantie One way in which a culture can be read is through the way its people control their material environment, and through the knowledge that accompanies it. Such knowledge is part and parcel of social representations, which are ways of imagining daily life and the world, as developed, shared and transmitted within a community. They set up a consensual reality, and orientate the behaviour of a group, with the view of controlling the social, material, and ideological environment (Levy and Lussault 2003). In rural communities, control and use of land is one arena where "local" or "indigenous" knowledge is one of the main determinants. We will focus on such "local land knowledge". While there is a purely anthropological interest in these folk representations and classifications (Friedberg 1992; Holman 2005), there is also a practical interest in how this rural knowledge interfaces with the external stakeholders' ideas that are often derived from popularized scientific knowledge. In every project concerning rural areas, indigenous knowledge (particularly among the farmers) must be recognized and taken into account in order to bring about consensus between various stakeholders on actions to be carried out (Dupre 1991; Roose, 1994). An example from Madagascar will show how the mobilization of rural knowledge about the soil, and close observations of cultivated soils and indigenous agricultural practices, are particularly important components of projects aimed at achieving sustainable agriculture. Separated with South-East Africa by the Mozambique Channel, Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, and contains a wide variety of landscapes and ecosystems.

  • 2.4 Madagascar Railway Assessment
    2.4 Madagascar Railway Assessment - The Northern railway, managed by a private company Madarail (Madagascar Railway) for the network connecting Antananarivo with Tamatave, Ambatondrazaka and Antsirabe. There is a regular (at least daily) goods traffic between the port city of Toamasina and the capital city of Antananarivo for cargo while passenger trains are only serving Tamatave to Moramanga and Moramanga to Ambatrodrazaka lines. Very occasionally there are special chartered trips on restored Micheline railcars for tourists. - The Southern railway, managed by a public company FCE (Fianarantsoa Cote Est) for the south eastern network connecting Fianarantsoa to Manakara. Page 1 The southern line has regular passenger and cargo trains, which provides a slow but picturesque alternative to the recently rehabilitated road in the region. For more information on railway company contact details, please see the following link: Madagascar Railway Assessment Railway Companies and Consortia 4.2.7 Madagascar Railway Company Contact List Northern railway*: *During our study, Madarail was in the midst of restructuring, therefore, they did not want to share information, statistics or even contacts. All the information gathered and shared in this document comes exclusively from third parties or from data found on the internet. Madarail, was founded on October 10, 2002 following the decision of the Malagasy State to privatize the Malagasy National Railway Network1 (RNCFM). A concession agreement for the management of the North network is then established between the new private operator and the State. Madarail began operating the Northern railway network in Madagascar on 1 July 2003. In 2008, the Belgian operator Vecturis, already active in eight other African countries, became the majority shareholder of the company and the new railway operator.

  • Taxonomic Revision of the Genus Manilkara ( Sapotaceae) in Madagascar
    E D I N B U R G H J O U R N A L O F B O T A N Y 65 (3): 433–446 (2008) 433 Ó Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2008) doi:10.1017/S096042860800485X TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS MANILKARA ( SAPOTACEAE) IN MADAGASCAR V. PLANA1 &L.GAUTIER2 A revision of the five Madagascan species of the genus Manilkara (Sapotaceae)is presented, including a key, descriptions, diagnostic characters, ecological notes and a distribution map. Of the seven species originally described by Aubre´ville, Manilkara tampoloensis is placed in synonymy with M. boivinii, and M. sohihy is removed from the genus and placed within the existing Labramia boivinii (Pierre) Aubre´v. Keywords. Madagascar, Manilkara, Sapotaceae, taxonomic revision. Introduction The genus Manilkara Adans., probably best known for American species such as M. zapota (sapodilla) and M. chicle (chicle), is a pantropical genus comprising c.82 species (Govaerts et al., 2001). Of these, approximately one third are found in Africa (Plana, in prep.) and Madagascar. Although the Madagascan species of Manilkara share some characteristics with mainland African species, none are found in Africa. Afro-Madagascan species can be divided, according to their gross morphology, into three broad biogeographic regions: Madagascar, East and South Africa, and Central and West Africa. Malagasy species share characteristics with species in both regions, where they are commonly constituents of evergreen forest. Manilkara is one of six genera constituting the subtribe Manilkarinae H.J.Lam (tribe Mimusopeae Hartog) (Pennington, 1991) which also includes Labramia A.DC., Faucherea Lecomte, Northia Hook.f., Labourdonnaisia Bojer and Letestua Lecomte.
