Project M232

Environmental education

Levers for poverty reduction and climate adaptation in Madagascar

Context

Madagascar is not only severely affected by deforestation, poverty and the impacts of climate change – many children also lack access to practical environmental education and concrete opportunities for action. Project M232 addresses precisely this issue and combines education with practical application in everyday life.

Executive Summary

Project M232 provides children and teachers in Madagascar with a deep understanding of social-ecological interdependencies and sustainable action. Around 30,000 children and 800 teachers are reached annually – through environmental lessons, practical school activities and targeted training. By establishing 10 “Écoles Vertes” (green schools) per year, ADES is embedding environmental education permanently into everyday school life. New digital learning formats, monitoring and evaluation systems, and a national database for measuring impact are improving the programme’s reach and quality.

Outcomes

Children and teachers develop a sound environmental awareness and bring this into school, family life and society. In the long term, this leads to more conscious use of resources and greater resilience to climate risks.

The project is part of a long-term commitment running until 2030. The aim is to establish a sustainable, state-funded system for environmental education.

Key developments:

Digitisation of learning content
Expansion of monitoring and evaluation
Establishment of a central impact database

Greater involvement of government partners

Timeline

All activities are geared towards scalability and institutional integration. New components for 2025–2028 include digitization, data-based monitoring, and participatory content development.
