No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP MISSION TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF CYCLONES AND DROUGHT ON THE FOOD SUPPLY SITUATION IN MADAGASCAR - 1 June 2000 2000
Also available in:
Following three successive cyclones and tropical storm in February, March and April 2000 which devastated the North-eastern and Central East Coast areas of Madagascar, coupled with persistent drought in the South, an FAO/WFP joint Mission visited the country from 23 April to 13 May 2000. The Mission evaluated the cyclone damage and assessed the overall crop production and food supply situation for the year 2000-2001. Three officers from the Ministry of Agriculture assisted the Mission. Meetings and briefings with various government and international agencies, as well as local and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were held, in order to asses the overall situation in the country and to collect relevant reports and statistics. The Mission was then divided into three teams for field visits. One team visited the cyclone affected north-east areas of Sava (covering Antalaha, Sambava and Andapa sub-Prefectures) and Maroantsetra; the second team visited the central regions of Lake Aloatra, Vakinankaratra and Centre-East, areas affected by a cyclone as well as the drought. The third team visited the South covering the Sub-Prefectures of Ambovombe, Amboasary, Bekily, Ampanihy, Beloha, and Tsihombe affected by drought. Thus, the Mission's assessment is based on the statistical and other reports received in the capital as well as on the field, discussions with national and regional agency staff, field technicians, farmers, traders, community leaders and personnel from s chools, churches and medical services. Farmers' fields were visited to assess the crop damage and markets were visited to verify the availability and prices of the produce. -

Also available in:
No results found.An FAO/WFP Mission visited Madagascar from 18 August to 5 September 1997 to assess the damage caused by locusts to crops in the southern part of the country and to evaluate its implications on the food supply situation. The Mission was joined by two senior staff members of the Office of the General Commissioner for the Integrated Development of the South of Madagascar (CGDIS), which co-ordinates all development activities in the southern part of the country. In conducting the assessment, the Mis sion was split into two teams so that as many sub-prefectures and districts as possible could be visited in the two provinces of Toliary and Fianarantsoa that were affected by the locust outbreak. One team visited sub-prefectures between Ambovombe in the southern coastal area and Ihosy in the north and continued westward to Sakaraha and Toliary, the provincial capital. This allowed the Mission to visit areas covered by the regional early warning unit (SAP) as well as areas outside the SAP zone. The second team assessed conditions in the coastal areas of the south and south-west, including Beloha, Ampanihy, Betioky and Toliary, visiting sub-prefectures and districts classified in the various risk areas identified by the SAP. The Mission’s evaluation is based on discussions with government officials at the national and local level, farmers, the business community, representatives of NGOs and churches, UN agencies and bilateral donors, field projects, private rural doctors and veterina rians. Market places were also visited to assess the availability, sources and prices of food and discuss the impact of locusts on the livelihood of the population. The results of several studies on the outcome of the crop season, the impact of the locust outbreak on crops and the nutritional situation of the population in various areas were also reviewed. -

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Training materialPlanning in government forest agencies how to balance forest use and conservation: agenda for training workshop. 1998
Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital.
