Evidence snapshot for Madagascar
Madagascar has implemented several large-scale programmes addressing land rights, environmental protection, and digital access. CASEF's land-certification programme issued over 570,000 certificates at dramatically reduced cost ($25 vs ~$600), reaching an estimated 300,000 households, though only 28% went to women or joint holders against a 40% target. Two REDD+ and blue-carbon projects protect over 373,000 hectares of forest and mangroves while generating carbon revenues for over 100,000 people across communities. A digital-learning partnership between the Ministry of Education, UNICEF and Airtel had reached 86 schools and roughly 51,000 students by mid-2025, though active usage and learning outcomes remain unmeasured.
