The FC project PLAE V makes a contribution to the DC program Protection and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources in Madagascar. The goal of the FC measure is The sustainable management of the areas in the selected intervention communities contributes to the AFR100 initiative / Restoration of tree-rich landscapes (FLR) and to sustainable wood production (especially energy wood). The overarching goal is the protection and sustainable use of natural resources. At the same time, the project contributes to maintaining the livelihoods of the poor rural population of Madagascar. The most important results in the target communities include reforestation by farming groups on degraded areas, the pilot establishment of communal forests, agroforestry measures and erosion protection - as well as additional grazing measures and the securing of land use rights for the sustainably managed areas. Participatory land use planning forms the basis for the measures. The primary target group is the rural population in the target regions (initially DIANA, Boeny, possibly Betsiboka; later possibly others). PLAE V is conceptually and regionally based on the predecessor projects. The sponsor is the Ministry of Agriculture. The implementation period is set at around 4 years.
