UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES

Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that wo

or people and or nature. Few publications or case studies tell the ull story o how such initiatives evolve, the breadth

their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practition

themselves guiding the narrative.

To mark its 10-year anniversary, the Equator Initiative aims to ll this gap. The ollowing case study is one in a growing ser

that details the work o Equator Prize winners vetted and peer-reviewed best practices in community-based environmenconservation and sustainable livelihoods. These cases are intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local succ

to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models

PROJECT SUMMARYAdidy Maitso Association was established in 2005 withthe aim o conserving the natural resources o Didy Forest a dense moist orest o medium altitude in the AlaotraMangoro region o eastern Madagascar. The orest lies withinthe Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor, which is renowned orits high species endemism and unique biodiversity. TheAssociation works through 16 local community associationsto manage and restore the orest corridor, educate localcommunities on the economic benets o biodiversityconservation, and provide training to local armers and

womens groups on agricultural and income diversication.The group is actively engaged in maintaining anindigenous tree nursery, patrolling and surveying localorests to regulate against unsustainable orest use, radioprogramming, training on improved agricultural practicesor greater crop yields, and running a demonstration andtraining centre or local armers.

he Adidy Maitso Association is a or-prot association located

n the Ambatondrazaka district o the Alaotra Mangoro region

Madagascar. Founded in 2005 and ormalized in 2008, the

rganization brings together 16 Koloharena community associationsKoloharena is a Malagasy word which translates literally to looking

ter the wealth and reers to a village association that works to

mprove the living standards o communities while conserving

iodiversity.) Signicant pressures were being exerted on the natural

esources o the Didy Forest, a dense moist orest o medium altitude

600-1200 meters) within the Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor,

which is renowned or its high biodiversity, species endemism and

ecognized or connecting an important network o protected

reas in the country. A shortage o arable land had driven the localopulation to rely too heavily on the resources o the orest, resulting

n environmental pressures such as the practice o slash and burn

arming, illegal logging, the (over)collection o non-timber orest

roducts, and some illegal mining operations.

Drawing up o community management plans

Ater numerous lobbying eorts on the part o partners and

upporting organizations, including the French Global Environment

und (FFEM) and Conservation International, the management o

atural resources in Didy was transerred to the community level in

000 . Community management units or VOI (VondronOlona Iotony)

were constituted to bring together volunteers who share commonoals, such as the sustainable management and protection o

enewable natural resources and improving the communitys living

onditions. Each management transer site was urnished with a

management plan which was developed in a participatory manner

with stakeholders rom the Ministry o Environment, communities,

nd local partners. The plans included, among other things, the

oning o a management site, where community member are

llowed to access and use natural resources (within the parameters

certain restrictions); a conservation site, where community

members are orbidden rom taking or using resources; and a

controlled occupancy site, where communities are allowed to

homes and use land or arming. The zoning was based on

ancestral boundaries and local knowledge regarding natural lim

Each community management unit also drated a tai

management plan. One common eature to all management p

were monthly monitoring o the core conservation zone thro

community patrols. These patrols, however, were done o

voluntary basis without remuneration and, while some commu

members were motivated by a prevailing conservation ethic, t

were no economic incentives in place and the local standa

living remained predominantly and comparatively low. Comm

members quickly realized that conservation could not take pover the long-term without consideration or alternative inc

generation activities and adequate economic incentives to ad

with newly introduced restrictions on resource access and use. It

in response to this challenge that the Adidy Maitso Association

ormed.

Roles o Adidy Maitso and its member communities

A division o responsibilities made possible a harmonious wo

relationship between the Adidy Maitso Association and comm

management units. The communities retained responsibility

the conservation o biodiversity and the sustainable managem

o renewable natural resources, while Adidy Maitso assuresponsibility or creating livelihood alternative options. A

Maitso also committed to improving the institutional (governa

ramework o each management unit, and to introducing adeq

incentive structures. The association has since ensured that

community management unit has accountable leadership with

and transparent decision-making mechanisms. It has also suppo

each community in the preparation o regular reports to both

mayor and the local orest service. This has closed a communica

gap between the mayor, traditional chies and an esse

stakeholder in the enorcement o community zoning. By prov

he local orest service with inormation on how it can best support

ommunity regulation o zoning restrictions, Adidy Maitso has

ectively acilitated a harmonization o enorcement eorts. So too,

ommunity members that participate in patrol activities now receive

n indemnity and stipend which, while not objectively substantial,

rovide enough o an incentive to ensure ongoing participation.

Adidy Maitsos overarching goal is to improve local livelihoods

nd the overall living conditions in its constituent communitiesand to reduce local dependence on the unsustainable extraction

orest resources. The association also works to promote social

ohesion with a view to catalyzing and sustaining community

ction in service o protecting the regions biodiversity. Among

ther objectives, Adidy Maitso works to: promote alternatives to

avy (slash-and-burn) agriculture, identiy and develop livelihood

lternatives, conduct capacity building and peer-to-peer knowledge

xchange in agriculture and livestock management, secure unds to

un a micro-nancing program or Koloharena communities, ensure

he protection and ongoing provision o ecosystem services, and

conserve local biodiversity. While the vision o the organization

not changed substantially since it began, the association now p

greater emphasis on communication (environmental educa

campaigns) and capacity building. Although local people

been heavily dependent on unsustainable methods o reso

extraction or an extended period o time, changes in behavior

largely taken place through awareness raising and environme

education.

Organizational structure

The association is governed by a general assembly and a b

o directors, which consists o a steering committee, an audit

coordinator, and supervisory committees. Adidy Maitso is comp

o 218 members across 16 villages. The general assembly h

Key Activities and Innovations

Adidy Maitso Association activities ocus on three broad program

reas: i) strengthening local action in natural resource protection and

egraded orest restoration, ii) improving agricultural productivity,

nd iii) promoting alternative livelihoods.

Mobilizing community action in orest conservation

n regards to strengthening local action in natural resource

protection and degraded orest restoration, Adidy Maitso has

ocused on capacity building, awareness-raising, and oversight o

ommunity patrols to saeguard local orests and orest resources.

Outreach and communication activities are primarily conducted

ia workshops, estivals and through extensions services to

ndividual communities. Awareness-raising has concentrated onhe importance o biodiversity and healthy ecosystems to human

wellbeing, the economic benets o sustainable natural resource

management, and the respective roles and objectives o theKoloharena. The association has been equally active in reorestation,

ocusing on eucalyptus trees outside conservation sites as a means

o osetting or supplementing community uel wood and timber

eeds.

ndigenous plants are also used or the enrichment o natural

orests. Community members participating in tree planting and

onservation activities are oten remunerated (i only modestly) or

heir eorts.

mprovements in agricultural productivity

As concerns the Adidy Maitso commitment to improving agricultural

productivity, the association uses agricultural extension ocers to

isseminate new technologies, training in animal husbandry, and

normation on more ecient production methods to local armers.

pecic interventions have included rice cultivation, crop protection

hedging), seed distribution and diversication, and organic ertilizer

se. Crop protection methods to ght parasitic plant diseases use

atural materials rather than chemical inputs. The association has

disseminated locally-evolved insect and pest management meth

tested by various Koloharena. One method involves the use o

artisanal soaps (savony gasy) and white citron, where another (

Ranomena) uses a liquid made rom zebu bone and sisal lea ext

Seed diversity is encouraged, as is the use o organic ertilize

act, Adidy Maitso promotes the combined use o compost, na

ertilizer, and clay to make seeds more resilient.

Livelihoods diversifcation

To promote alternative livelihoods and diversiy local source

income, Adidy Maitso is involved in identiying and linking

emerging markets and distribution channels or new products

association has also ocused on a number o key sectors to explocal income-generation opportunities, including small-

potato and bean processing businesses, chicken rearing, apicu

(beekeeping), sh arming, and pig and zebu rearing. An impo

and complementary aspect o this activity area is the promotio

diversied and o-season crops such as onions, bananas, soybe

cassava, corn, and white beans. This not only supplements

production, but also improves local ood security.

Awareness-raising and extension services

Adidy Maitso dedicates a good amount o resources and energ

outreach, both to disseminate inormation and to garner comm

participation. One early barrier to outreach encountered byassociation was the high rates o illiteracy amongst local arm

This challenge has been overcome through radio program

which broadcasts news and inormation on environme

conservation activities, sustainable livelihood opportun

resource management rules and regulations, and improved ar

techniques. A complementary communications tactic emplo

by the association has been the use o on-the-ground agricul

extension and outreach ocers; engineers who travel to local

to conduct trainings, workshops and on-site demonstration

environmentally responsible arming techniques.

A training center (called Maison Koloharena) has been establishe

carry out capacity building activities and serves as a communicat

outpost or participating engineers. Engineers all into one o t

categories: arming acilitators, arming extension agents, and m

armers. The arming acilitators are responsible or outreach, m

courtesy calls at the request o community members, raise aware

on conservation issues and priorities, and disseminate impro

agriculture and animal husbandry techniques. Farming exten

agents also make courtesy calls, but their main responsibiliconducting demonstrations or arming communities throug

the corridor. The model armers have applied the new techniq

in their own elds, which are then used as demonstration site

best practice or the entire community. Model armers also mob

people rom the wider community to attend demonstrations, w

they then share their expertise, tried and tested methodolo

and achievements. To ensure a process o ongoing and respon

learning, each arming acilitator, extension agent, and model a

is responsible or producing one radio show each week.

In addition to the above activities, Adidy Maitso also help

members to identiy and secure micro-nance. As one exam

the association works with a network o rural micro-credit agen

known as Ombon-Tahiry Iampisamborana Vola to connect mem

amilies with nancing or o-season crop cultivation.

Innovative uses o communication technology

The Adidy Maitso Association takes pride in its innov

communication methods. The local radio and arming engi

programs have been crucial to the projects success. Initially

radio program consisted o a do-it-yoursel microphone that

a range o only 20 meters in one o the Koloharena. The pote

o this tool to disseminate inormation more widely was qu

appreciated and recognized. The association was able to work partners to obtain solar panels, a more powerul transmitter, o

urniture, and computers. Radio programming now reaches ar

across the entire corridor. The radio program oce now ha

inormation and communications centre which houses a librar

room, and the radio station equipment.

The arming engineer program was ultimately the outcome

trial and error process. Unsatised with the sustainability o

o training courses, the association worked with partners to

and position technicians in the roles o arming acilitators, arm

extension agents and model armers. This train-the-trainers appr

has thrived, and represents a model or high-impact and eec

environmental education and knowledge transer. The engineernancially compensated by the Adidy Maitso Association, and m

are oten provided by those communities receiving the training

Through the use o both radio programs and on-the-ground arm

engineers, the Adidy Maitso Association has eectively institut

Impacts

BIODIVERSITY IMPACTS

ike all o the dense orests o eastern Madagascar, Didy is rich in

biodiversity. The area is home to several species o lemur, including

he iconic Prolemur simus, and is an important nesting site or the

Madagascar Ibis (Lophotibis cristata) and other endangered bird

pecies. Notable plant species include the Red Stinkwood (Pygeum

aricanum), the Dalbergia genus, and several species o orchid.

Adidy Maitso helps protect the ragile ecosystems o the Ankeniheny-

Zahamena Protected Area by supporting community management

units to responsibility and sustainably manage their natural

esources. Since the initiative began, rates o deorestation havebeen reduced, as have rates o poaching and hunting o threatened

pecies. (Previously, an estimated 10-20 tons per week o the

endangered rosewood tree were illegally being elled and removed

rom the orest.) The association has undertaken comprehensive

wareness-raising campaigns to educate the local population on

he importance o biodiversity and ecosystems services to human

wellbeing. These same campaigns have also sensitized the local

armers to the irreparable damage caused by unsustainable arming

echniques such as slash-and-burn agriculture. The latter was a

eading cause o orest res which would decimate sensitive habitats

nd result in the loss o rare and endangered fora and auna.

Community patrols report a reduction o orest res by 65 percent.

The association has also undertaken a concerted reorestation eortt a rate o 15 hectares o new orest per year. Ostensibly, the outcome

has been the realization o a green belt; a chain o communities

working to protect and reorest the Ankeniheny Zahamena Corridor.

The long-term objective o the association is to expand the corridor

by six times its current size.

The association has not only equipped local armers with

normation on existing environmental challenges and persistent

ocio-economic problems, but, through capacity building and

outreach, urnished them with the tools and knowledge needed to

respond. New and more ecient practices have been taught to

Adidy Maitsos conservation activities have had a positive, discer

impact on species numbers and ecosystem health, as obse

by the local community, local government (mayor and tradit

leaders), and local orest services. The association is currently in

process o developing an improved system o data collection b

on a combination o surveillance patrols and inormation rece

via instant message.

SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS

The social objectives o the Adidy Maitso Association ar

improve the living conditions and overall well-being o the mem

communities and to promote social cohesion, which it aim

achieve through promoting the exchange o knowledge

expertise among member associations. Adidy Maitso uses a varie

tools to promote knowledge sharing, including site demonstrat

workshops, radio programs, and the arming engineer program

Improved livelihood options

Agricultural diversication and the adoption o impragricultural techniques have allowed the majority o amilie

improve their diets and livelihoods. The practice o intensive

growing has allowed households to double or even triple thei

yields (rom 0.8 1 tons per hectare to 5-6 tons per hectare). M

garden cultivation, generally practiced by the women, has brou

diversication o oodstus at the amily level and an increase in

nancial stability o each household as the surplus legumes g

are currently being sold in the local marketplace. Similarly with

cultivation o beans or the Toamasina market, the main provi

bazaar, market operators have signed a deal with an associa


9/12

member community to purchase their entire crop production.

Heads o households are no longer attracted by jobs with orestry

businesses which merely pocket the lions share o benets or the

companies, and pay only a menial salary or the labor o employees.

Farmers practicing slash-and-burn agriculture are now abandoning

he method in avor o an improved rice-growing system which is

more easible and compatible with environmental concerns.

Empowerment o women

Didy is a municipality belonging to the district o Ambatondrazaka in

he e o the Sihanaka ethnic group. The Sihanaka cultural tradition

nvolves major decisions being taken by men while the women

occupy themselves with household tasks and the raising o children.

At the time the association was ormed, all members were men and

women were let out o debates and exchanges. This trend has since

been turned around, and association members are now o both

exes. At the level o oce management, women take on the roles o

ecretary, treasurer and counselor. In regards to the division o labor,

ice-growing and the production o compost to ertilize the soil are

all given to men while the gardening-related tasks all to the women.

This division o tasks makes an equal burden o responsibility oramily development. A patrol committee is constituted by men and

women and the sanctions given or inractions are applied without

distinction o sex, social class or status within the community.

Job creation and income generation

The association has observed a 25 percent increase in income among

ts target population, about hal o whom have beneted rom new

ncome-generating activities. Through the employment o arming

engineers and radio technicians, 48 new jobs have been created or

ocal people. Temporary allowances and benets have been shared

with over 80 community associations.

POLICY IMPACTS

As a cooperative ederation o associations, Adidy Maitso has been

able to leverage its size and infuence to impact various political

processes. Since Didy is included in the new protected area o

Ankeniheny-Zahamena, the association has participated in the local

consultations to drat a development plan. The association holds an

advisory role in the management o this new corridor. Adidy Maitso

was similarly consulted prior to implementation o the Development

Plan o the Aloaotra Mangoro Region.

The association also holds signicant sway at the municipal

where it is oten consulted or guidance regarding developm

and conservation planning. One example was a successul lobb

eort by the association in which they petitioned the mayor to

a decree conronting illegal mining and logging in the town

decree was adopted ollowing meetings with municipal autho

the technical service, the presidents o member communities,

the presidents o the Adidy Maitso Association.

When forming strategic priorities, policy-makers should take environmental protection in

consideration, and acknowledge grassroots communities as the primary guardians and manage

of forest resources.

Sustainability and Replication

SUSTAINABILITYhe Adidy Maitso Association contributes to environmental

ustainability through its role in integrating communities into the

management structure o the Ankeniheny-Zahamena Protected

Area. The association plans to develop the 12,000 hectares o plain

ands in Didy so communities have more arable land on which to

xpand agricultural production instead o encroaching on the natural

orest. This proposed venture will require a number o drainage and

rrigation projects. The association is currently building a canal or

his purpose, and is using unds exclusively gathered rom member

ontributions. This capacity to sel-nance community development

rojects at once refects a high degree o local ownership as well as austainability model to meet local demands and overcome identied

hallenges.

n act, the Adidy Maitso Association operates primarily on the

nnual contributions o its membersamounting to USD 2.50 per

month and USD 10 per yearas well as shares o the prots rom

he community enterprises and productive activities. The UNDP/

GEF-Small Grants Programm has also been an important source

nancial sustainability or specic development, reorestation,

nd income-generation projects. Additionally, members o the

ssociation regularly volunteer their time by holding undraisers.

While volunteer undraising has been successul to date, the

ssociation is drating a business plan to move beyond volunteerism.

he association has plans to expand its current training center; the

nticipated return on investment is high as the venue grows and

volves to become an essential conduit o community inormation

nd knowledge exchange. Fundamentally, the program component

hat ensures the long-term sustainability and ongoing relevance o

he association is the arming engineer program. On-the-ground

arming acilitators, extension agents, and model armers are selected

ased on comparative expertise and outreach capacity. All are locally

ecruited, as the method o bringing in outside trainers proved less

successul and ultimately unsustainable. Farming engineers req

compensation and on-going training, but the knowledge that

transer to neighbors has been invaluable and greatly strength

capacities in the region.

Through environmental education and awareness-ra

campaigns, the association has eectively instilled a conserva

ethic amongst the local population, which is essential or l

term sustainability. So too, community members are provided

up-to-date inormation on the laws that govern natural resou

Awareness and education have empowered community mem

to tackle emerging problems, encouraged reciprocal investmen

time and resources by community members, and, by turn, bolstthe associations social sustainability.

REPLICATION

Adidy Maitso Association is one o the rst cooperative associa

established in the Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor. It

unequivocally played a leadership role in sharing and dissemina

environment, arming and development best practice with o

communities. Two cooperative associations modeled ater A

Maitso have been ormed in the Alaotra region. Throug

community management units, the association has prom

the sharing o knowledge and experiences. Exchange visits

communications campaigns have been the preerred mediumbest practice transer. Central also in this regard has been r

programming, which has allowed the association to reach

and more remote audiences o local armers. At the same

demonstration sites have been an important vehicle o replica

particularly in attracting new members to become involve

conservation and sustainable arming activities.

While Adidy Maitso believes knowledge sharing to be an esse

component o their various projects, they have encounter

number o obstacles along the way. For example, the association
