Assessment of water resources in southern Madagascar

USAID/Madagascar is using the Rural Evidence and Learning for Water (REAL WATER) field support mechanism to:
– collect and analyze existing information on water resource conditions in southern Madagascar; and
– develop potential approaches for USAID programming in the region – approaches that have the potential to be sustainable over the long term and contribute to community resilience.
This project follows the designation of Madagascar as a USAID High Priority Country, a Country to Feed the Future, and a Country for Resilience.
