USAID Provides $22 Million to Support Resilience and Food Security in Madagascar
The United States, through USAID, is providing more than $22 million in additional assistance to build resilience and improve food security for Madagascar’s most vulnerable people.
The funding, representing the first year of two new five-year resilience and food security projects, will help our partners reach up to 88,000 extremely poor and marginalized households in the Androy, Anosy, and Atsimo Atsinanana regions of Madagascar. This assistance, which will be implemented by consortiums led by USAID partners Catholic Relief Services and Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture, will support marginalized households to build sustainable livelihoods, develop financial capital, and increase their savings and assets. It will also support households to access existing health, nutrition, and water, sanitation, and hygiene services, and bolster households’ capacity to withstand future shocks and stresses.
