Voa-Jary: Support for Rural Entrepreneurship and Integration into Green Employment in Antanambao Dzamandzar, Northern Madagascar

In order to ensure inclusive availability and access to safe, nutritious and affordable food, the creation of new employment opportunities and decent livelihoods, in addition to the protection of natural resources and biodiversity, the project envisages the following activities:   

• training in green entrepreneurship and leadership in a context of gender equality; in cooperative management (organizational and operational management); in techniques adapted to food and climate, in particular those in agro-ecology (production processes, processing and conservation) and arboriculture;   
• technical and material support, including the creation of a business plan and sales outlets on the local and tourist markets, including a sanitary block for extension and learning;   
• follow-up and support activities, as well as awareness-raising campaigns on environmental issues, human rights – particularly those relating to gender equality, gender-based violence and all forms of discrimination – and sustainable tourism. The target audience will be farmers, members of associations and youth groups, especially women and girls, who are heavily affected by the effects of climate change and sexual violence in Nosy Be.
