Increase Resilience and Livelihood Diversification of Rural Women Communities through creative Industries Value Chain Development The project proposal originated from the interest of NORAD in funding a project similar to the currently existing UNIDO-UNDP Project in Creative Industries in Madagascar. This project will build upon on the success of the UNDP-UNIDO crafts development project in southern Madagascar which initiated the process of developing a new line of furniture and decorative items but that ended at the prototyping phase. To achieve sustainability and attain a multiplier effect, this project includes both an institutional and a practical component. On one side, institutions will be strengthened in order to develop sustainable services to address the needs of most vulnerable people and women as well as SME in the creative industries sector on creation and production techniques as well as on entrepreneurship, management and marketing. On the other side, women will be empowered by the provision of technical skill and production tools along the rural value chain. Following the tested methodology, three new production lines will be launched.  The project also includes the activities under UNIDO's responsibility as part of the joint UN Programme on #Renforcement des moyens de subsistance pour la Résilience Communautaire# coordinated by UNDP. UNDP will fund 1,034 million USD  -both are part of the UNDAF 2015-2019.  The project also

HCFC Phase-Out Management Plan (Stage I) The HPMP for Madagascar was approved at the 62nd Meeting of the Executive Committee. The strategic objective of the HPMP is to ensure that the HCFC phase-out obligations under the Montreal Protocol are achieved. The first stage of the HPMP outlines the strategy for Madagascar to reach the HCFC consumption freeze by 2013, 10% reduction by 2015 and 35% reduction by 2020 from baseline values.  The HPMP is being implemented in cooperation with UNEP. The main components of the Plan are: 1. Information, Communication and Education on the legislation and regulations which pertain to the protection of the ozone layer; 2. Training of trainers and refrigeration technicians on good servicing practices; 3. Training of customs and enforcement officers; 4. Purchase of equipment and materials for the recovery and storage of refrigerants and the conversion of existing industrial installations to non-HCFC alternatives; refrigerant identifiers; and servicing toolkits; 5. Coordination and overall project implementation and monitoring.
HCFC phase-out management plan (stage II) Stage II of the HPMP for Madagascar will focus on strengthening national regulations and customs capacity for controlling and monitoring HCFCs and facilitating adoption of HCFC-free low-global-warming-potential (GWP) alternatives; and strengthening the refrigeration servicing sector through training of technicians to implement good practices when servicing RAC equipment including those based on low-GWP alternative technologies, establishing a national RAC technician certification scheme, strengthening national centres of excellence for training technicians on low-GWP alternatives, and implementation of recovery and reclamation programme for reducing demand for consumption of HCFCs.
Support of incubators for entrepreneurship in Madagascar Le tissu économique de Madagascar ne parvient pas à intégrer les quelques 480'000 jeunes qui arrivent chaque année sur le marché du travail. La situation est particulièrement préoccupante dans le secteur agricole qui occupe près de 80% de la population et subit une décroissance régulière due à la détérioration de l#environnement (sols, eau, changement climatique). Le vaste territoire est par ailleurs géré de manière très centralisée et les infrastructures font particulièrement défaut en régions. Dans ce contexte, en fin de formation les jeunes tentent de créer leur propre emploi, mais sans expérience, avec peu de moyen, peu de capacités de gestion et peu de contacts, ils se retrouvent trop souvent dans le secteur informel. Aussi, les initiatives de soutien à l#entreprenariat se sont multipliées dans le pays ces dix dernières années. Elles offrent des services de formation et soutien depuis l#idée de projet jusqu#à la formulation d#un business plan à soumettre aux institutions financières et sont appelées incubateurs. Toutefois ces initiatives restent de portée limitée et de qualité diverses, sans aucune coordination.  Face à cette situation, ce projet s#inscrit dans le cadre du programme d#actions de support aux incubateurs pour l#entreprenariat et la création de MPME au niveau de Madagascar, l#Angola, l#Éthiop
