Evidence snapshot for Madagascar
Madagascar faces major infrastructure gaps but has implemented several large-scale development programmes to address them. DECIM's $400 million World Bank programme is bundling rural electrification with subsidised digital devices, aiming to raise electricity access from 33.7% to 67% and add 3.4 million new internet users, while CASEF's $47 million land-certification initiative has issued over 570,000 certificates and cut the cost of land documentation from ~$600 to ~$25, reaching an estimated 300,000 households. On conservation and climate action, the Makira Forest Protection REDD+ project protects 372,470 hectares of rainforest and benefits 90,000 people across 120 villages, while the Tahiry Honko mangrove blue-carbon project protects over 1,200 hectares and generates USD 27,000 annually for 12,000+ people. The practices show quantified results for land rights, energy, digital access, and forest protection, but do not measure economy-wide impacts or comparative sectoral performance.
