Context and justifications:
The Malagasy population is estimated at 22 million inhabitants, 76.50% of whom live below the poverty line, 54% of whom live in extreme poverty. Current data ranked Madagascar 155th out of 187 in terms of HDI (Human Development Index).
Madagascar is one of the countries that has a very low rate of access to drinking water (38.9%), hygiene and sanitation (50.1%) according to the results of the ENSOMD 2012 survey (Follow-up survey Millennium Development Goal). The disparity in access to drinking water persists between regions in Madagascar: the rate of access to drinking water varies from 14.8% in the Melaky region (one of the poorest regions) to 77.1% in the region. Analamanga region. There is also inequality according to the standard of living, more than 90.4% of the poorest population in Madagascar does not have access to improved drinking water sources and more than half of the population is looking for water in a river or lake or unprotected springs. The interior of urban areas in large cities, although generally served, presents unequal access for households depending on the geographical location of water networks. About 56.5% of the population is looking for water more than 30 minutes away. The water coming from the tap / public fountain is the most used by all the different classes.
In addition to this, Madagascar is the first country most exposed to cyclones in Africa, and the third country in the world most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This problem of climate change, which is being felt in recent years, limiting the recharge of the water table because of the decrease in rainfall in the South and making the drilling depth more and more important, the intensity of cyclones affecting Madagascar will increase with a slight shift of trajectories to the North and often accompany abundant rainfall amounts. Even in the absence of cyclones, floods occur, destroying crops, property and infrastructure and silting up agricultural areas, exposing households to diarrheal diseases related to unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation.
In 2011 UNDP intervened in the water and sanitation sector in the development of the SDEAHs of the 3 Basin Agencies (AB) of the South (Central West, South East and South-West). The Master Plan for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (SDEAH) is a strategic multisectoral guidance framework for the sustainable development of water resources in the regions concerned in order to meet the basic needs of the population and to ensure the economic and social development of these regions. It is, on the one hand, an adaptive reference instrument for all internal and external actors, who intervene or intervene in the water sector within these regions, and on the other hand, for the coming years., a major operational tool for the fight against poverty and for the sustainable development of these regions. This SDEAH is composed of a main document and 5 thematic files (one per sub-sector): rural hydraulics, urban and semi-urban hydraulics, agricultural and pastoral hydraulics, sanitation and other uses of water (industrial hydraulics, hydropower, tourism). These plans are indispensable tools for improving watershed management in relation to water management practices and sanitation services, they do not include comprehensive projections on climate change and their specific effects. water resources in the 3 watersheds targeted, or the measures targeted for the prevention and reduction of these effects agricultural and pastoral hydraulics, sanitation and other uses of water (industrial hydraulics, hydropower, tourism).
