No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)FAO/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. -
