This review aims to provide the
Government of Madagascar with a situation assessment and
insights and guidance on how to position the rural and
environment sector as an engine for inclusive and
sustainable economic growth. The review has cast the
analytical net quite widely with the aim to come up with a
comprehensive overview of the sector. In view of the
intimate linkages between rural development and the
environment, which are particularly important because of
Madagascar's unique biodiversity, the review looks into
both the production and conservation aspects of natural
resources management for inclusive and sustainable economic
growth. The report is divided into two Volumes. Volume 1,
the Main Report, is aimed at policy makers and particularly
focuses on the recommendations that flow from the analytical
work that has been conducted as part of the review. It is
organized along four axes that represent the strategic
challenges faced by the rural and environment sector to
establish itself as an engine of inclusive and sustainable
economic growth in Madagascar: (i) improve food security and
food production; (ii) put in place the building blocks for
sustainable intensification and diversification of
agricultural production; (iii) improve value-added of
natural resources as providers of extractive products and
environmental services; and (iv) make the sector
institutional framework more effective and efficient. A
brief diagnostic overview of the sector precedes the
presentation of these axes. Volume 2, Technical Annexes, is
aimed at sector experts and rural development practitioners
and provides the underlying analytical groundwork for the
recommendations that are presented in the Main Report. For
this purpose, Volume 2 includes a detailed situation
assessment of the sector.
