The cyclone severely affected regions of Brickaville, Vatomandry and Moramanga. Other districts were affected to a lesser extent. The National Disaster Risk Management Office (BNGRC) reported that Giovanna caused the death of 35 people while 284 were injured. On 26 February another cyclone ‘Irina’ hit the north eastern part of Madagascar. Severe tropical storm Irina and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) left 77 people dead and 15 others injured as reported by BNGRC. Between 20 and 22 February, ACT members SAF/FJKM and DKH, visited the affected areas of Mahanoro, Vatomandry, Brickaville and Moramanga. A UN led detailed assessment in the agriculture sector was completed in April on which the needs in this full appeal are based on. The goal of this ACT emergency response is to improve food security in the areas affected through food assistance for remote communities in Vatomandry district. For the crisis phase (March – May) the intervention focussed on food assistance providing rations of 250 grams of rice and 50 grams of beans per person/day for a period of 20 days. The second phase of the intervention will focus on training communities in improved agricultural techniques, distribution of short cycle varieties of rice seed, reopening of irrigation canals in three MDG121 – Cyclone Giovanna & TS Irina, Madagascar 2 communes through food for work and cash for work systems, and repairing of feeder roads in the three targeted communes through food for work and cash for work interventions.

REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION SAF/FJKM is a department set up by the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar (FJKM) to carry out development and humanitarian aid work. The department has its own legal status of a nongovernmental organisation and its own internal regulations. SAF/FJKM operates at national level and has its headquarters in Antananarivo, the capital city of Madagascar. It has thirty-seven years of experience in humanitarian aid and rural development activities in Madagascar. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION On 14 February cyclone ‘Giovanna’ with winds of 185km/hr, a diameter of 1,000km and a displacement speed of 19km/hr hit the east coast of Madagascar between Tamatave and Vatomandry, about 350 kilometres east of the capital Antananarivo, traversing through the central Analamanga, Itasy and out from Menabe region on the western part of the country. The cyclone severely affected regions of Brickaville, Vatomandry and Moramanga. Some districts were affected to a lesser extent. The National Disaster Risk Management Office (BNGRC) reported that Giovanna caused the death of 35 people while 284 were injured. Local coping mechanisms and resilience to shocks of communities had been instrumental to the return of affected people back to their homes ten days after the passing of cyclone Giovanna. On 26 February another cyclone ‘Irina’ made a landfall in the north eastern part of Madagascar. Severe tropical storm Irina and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) left 77 people dead and 15 others injured as reported by BNGRC. Life saving emergency activities were carried out in most of the affected areas by government and non- government organisations. The need to conduct an in-depth assessment in the affected areas was quickly instituted. The following is an extract of the needs assessment report: The specific purpose of the in-depth assessment was to: - Understand the magnitude of the damages on agricultural activities and the means of production as well as their possible effects on food security and livelihood; - Identify the communes/areas that were most affected where intervention priorities should be focused; - Provide necessary information for decision making concerning rehabilitation and re- launching of agricultural activities, especially inter-season rice cultivation. - Produce a report reflecting, the magnitude of disaster in each area of intervention by sector (agriculture, food security and livelihoods). This information would be useful when considering targeting of beneficiaries and prioritizing areas of intervention. MDG121 – Cyclone Giovanna & TS Irina, Madagascar 4 Data collection The data collection period was from the 27th of February to the 6th of April 2012. Like all surveys jointly conducted by the SAMS cluster, participants in conducting the survey were entirely from the members/partners. For this survey, the following organizations participated: FAO, WFP, CARE, CRS, ADRA, LOL, Interaide, CARITAS, WHH, DAKONIA, BDEM, CARITAS, SAF FJKM with the support of Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe-ACT Alliance, BNGRC, ONN and MINAGRI. Description of damages on agriculture Four categories of agriculture products were considered during this evaluation viz, the annual cash crops, secondary food crops, sustainable staple products and plants for harvest. In the seven regions affected including Vatomandry in the east, main food crops are: rice, cassava, maize and sweet potatoes. The proportion of households that plant them differ from region to region. The magnitude of disasters on the major food crops cultivated within the surveyed areas, mentioned above are summed up in the following table: Agriculture type Alaotra South East East SAVA SOFIA Va/karatra VV7V Rice for 1st 50%-74% >75% >75% 25%-49% 25%-49% <10% 50%-74% season : Rice for 2nd season 25%-49% 50%-74% >75% 0 0 0 50%-74% Rice on high land 25%-49% 25%-49% >75% 0 10%-24% 25%-49% 25%-49% Cassava >75% >75% >75% 25%-49% 25%-49% 25%-49% 50%-74% Maize 50%-74% 25%-49% >75% <10% 0 0 50%-74% Sweet potatoes 10%-24% <10% >75% 0 0 25%-49% <10% Coffee 0 10%-24% >75% 0 0 0 10%-24% Cloves 0 10%-24% <10% 0 0 0 10%-24% Pepper 0 >75% >75% 0 0 0 >75% Bread fruit 0 >75% >75% 0 0 0 >75% Jack fruit 0 NC >75% 0 0 0 <10% Banana >75% 25%-49% >75% 50%-74% 50%-74% 0 50%-74% Damage to rice for first season More than 75% of the households plant rice for the first season in the eight surveyed districts of Farafangana, Vangaindrano, Ifanadiana, Mampikony, Midongy atsimo, Moramanga, Vatomandry, and Vohipeno. Damages to rice in these districts range between 49 and 74%. Damage to rice fields on high land During the passage of the cyclone and tropical storm, the upland rice field crops were at the stage of expansion and ripening. The loss was more than half as wind caused the formed grain to drop. Damage to cassava plants Apart from the first season rice, cassava is the second staple food in the areas affected. Due to strong winds, the cassava plants were uprooted or prematurely broken. Damage to maize The proportion of households that plant maize on high land is more than 50%. The number gradually decreases near the east coast where households plant tubers. Damage to sweet potatoes The population complained of loss of seeds. MDG121 – Cyclone Giovanna & TS Irina, Madagascar 5 Damage to cash crops The cyclone and tropical storm coincided with the period before the ripening of cash crops. The majority of the fruits were prematurely blown off and many of the fruit trees were uprooted. It takes three years for the renewal of these trees. The districts of Toamasina II, Brickaville, Mahanoro, Moramanga and Vatomandry then Antsirabe II are the most affected. Damage to wild fruit trees The fruits ripen during the lean season. Fruits provide food during the hunger season for some time. The fruits are included in the food system of the population if we refer to seasonal calendar in each region. Jack fruit, bread fruit and bananas fall in this category. More than 75% of the trees in the districts affected by Giovanna were shaken off and their fruit damaged.

Promises for extended economic aid and long term program planning on the part of donors and other international actors slowed as the administration of President Marc Ravalomanana drew towards political action. Considering the large number of challengers to the presidency, and the volatility of the opposition, Country Stability remained notably high. The downward trend in the Country Stability index in November 2006 is a reflection primarily of a single event, and its repercussions: the weak effort by General Andrianafidisoa (Fidy) to stage a military challenge to the Ravalomanana regime. • The first half of 2006, like much of Ravalomanana’s presidency, was characterized by high levels of foreign assistance.

  • II. Situation Overview
    United Nations Nations Unies Office of the Resident Coordinator Madagascar • Cyclone Giovanna, Irina and Floods Situation Report # 8 – 22 March 2012 I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES The combined effects of tropical cyclones Giovanna, Irina and recent heavy rains in the south-east Madagascar left 112 people dead and 133 injured. The Education, shelter and food security have been identified as priorities sectors in the five affected districts where an estimated 614 classrooms have been partially damaged and 1,408 other destroyed; between 35 and 80 per cent of the agricultural production has been damaged; and around 30,000 people in the eastern coast are likely to be food insecure until the next harvest period in May. The majority of the IDPs hosted in the shelters have returned home and roads are again opened to traffic. However, long term rehabilitation is required in many national roads. Resurgence of malaria cases is being reported in many districts in the south-east and the eastern regions. The number of reported cases is ten times higher than the one reported at the same time in 2009; however, it worth noting that the malaria outbreak started before the emergency. The majority of the pre-positioned stocks have been used by humanitarian actors to respond to urgent needs. Few pledges have been announced by donors for the replenishment of depleted stocks. II. Situation Overview Irina and floods in the south-east regions Severe tropical storm Irina and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) left 77 people dead and 15 others injured. The south-east regions (particularly the commune of Kelilalina in Ifanadiana district) are the most severely affected area with 27 people reported dead as a consequence of landslides.

  • II. Situation Overview
    United Nations Nations Unies Office of the Resident Coordinator Madagascar • Cyclone Giovanna, Irina and floods Situation Report # 6 – 05 March 2012 I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES Heavy rains have continued to affect the central, eastern and south-eastern regions of Madagascar, leading to floods that have severely impacted the south-eastern coast in particular. 27 people have died and 9,600 have been evacuated or have been displaced in temporary sites. A state of emergency has been declared on Sunday 04 March in two regions in the south-eastern coast. Tropical disturbance Irina, which crossed northern Madagascar and threatened the western coast of the island, caused limited damage. Four people have died, 143 were displaced, 14 school classrooms and 4 health centres damaged. With regard to the impact of tropical cyclone Giovanna, 35 people died and 118 were injured. Around 1,000 people are still displaced in temporary shelters, in particular in the capital city Antananarivo. Assessment teams are returning from the field. II. Situation Overview New reports of flooding Heavy rains were recorded between 25 February and 01 March over the central, eastern and south-eastern regions of Madagascar, which led to flooding particularly in the south-eastern part of Madagascar. In the eastern region, rice fields have been flooded both in Moramanga, Anosibe an’Ala, Vatomandry and Brickaville but water has receded quickly. Three assessment teams have been deployed to assess the impacts of tropical cyclone Giovanna and covered much of the area affected by these rains. These assessment teams should thus be able to provide more information on this situation in eastern part in the coming days.

  • Madagascar Selective Justice
    Madagascar Selective Justice Introduction The December 2001 presidential elections in Madagascar provoked a major political crisis between the incumbent President, Didier Ratsiraka and his main rival, Marc Ravalomanana. The official results of the election’s first round gave no candidate an absolute majority, but these were challenged by Marc Ravalomanana who claimed he had won the election outright. On 22 February 2002, Marc Ravalomanana declared himself President after weeks of demonstrations in the capital, Antananarivo, in support of his claim. Didier Ratsiraka left the capital for Toamasina, an important port in the east of the country. This led to increasing tension and violence between the supporters of the two candidates. Marc Ravalomanana’s supporters erected barricades in the capital to "protect themselves" against possible action by the security forces or rival supporters. Didier Ratsiraka’s supporters blocked roads linking the provincial ports to the capital in order to isolate the inland capital. This period was marked by increasing confusion, disrespect for the rule of law and a breakdown of security. Parts of the army and the security forces became divided in favour of one or other candidate. However, some army generals tried to remain neutral condemning both the economic blockade of the capital and Marc Ravalomanana’s “self-declaration” as President. Marc Ravalomanana was installed as President on 6 May 2002 after the votes had been recounted. He then sent troops to recapture four provinces where the governors had declared themselves “independent” from the Antananarivo government. Marc Ravalomanana called upon reservists and other recent recruits to boost his troops, known as the “pacifying army”.
