Project M232 Environmental education Levers for poverty reduction and climate adaptation in Madagascar ALL PROJECTS 01 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. 02 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 750 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. 03 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 2025–2029 include digitization, data-based monitoring, and participatory content development.

Today, we harvest directly from it. I think that’s wonderful, because that is the true purpose of education: preparing children for life .” François Betombo, father of Ricardo (Ambohitralalana Primary School) ALL PROJECTS Any questions ?

Project M240 Modular institutional kitchens Improved conditions for children and cooks ALL PROJECTS 01 Context Many schools in Madagascar still cook over open fires, often in dark kitchens without windows or proper ventilation. Smoke exposure poses serious health risks for cooks, while excessive firewood consumption contributes to deforestation. At the same time, schools often lack the resources needed to invest in modern kitchen infrastructure. ADES addresses this challenge by building robust, modular school kitchens that require significantly less fuel, are easy to operate and maintain, and are developed in close collaboration with schools and local communities. 02 Executive Summary The M240 project improves cooking infrastructure in schools across Madagascar through the construction of 15 modular institutional kitchens each year. It enables more than 2,700 children to receive warm and nutritious meals in a hygienic, efficient and resource-saving environment. The kitchens reduce firewood consumption by up to 80%, save several hours of cooking time each day and protect the health of cooks by providing smoke-free working conditions. The project combines infrastructure, training and monitoring with strong local ownership and contributions. 03 Outcomes The M240 project sustainably improves school kitchen infrastructure across Madagascar. Schoolchildren benefit from daily warm and nutritious meals, while cooks work in significantly safer and healthier conditions, with less smoke exposure, reduced firewood consumption and lower physical strain. The modular institutional kitchens drastically reduce fuel consumption and energy costs. This creates additional financial resources that schools can invest in improved nutrition, school gardens or educational activities. At the same time, the project strengthens local ownership and long-term resilience. The kitchens are planned together with schools, produced locally and supported through training, maintenance and monitoring, ensuring sustainable use even in remote regions of Madagascar. Timeline The project runs from August 2025 to July 2028 and forms part of a longer-term commitment extending to 2030. Its objective is the nationwide expansion of modular institutional kitchens in schools through a locally rooted implementation approach. Support us Launch 2020 Pilot-Project First three school kitchens built in partnership with Bel Avenir First impact data collected Monitoring system established Milestone 1 2021-2025 Implementation 43 kitchens built Initial assessments conducted on smoke exposure, firewood consumption, costs and time savings Milestone 2 2026-2029 Consolidation 80 new kitchens by 2029 Technical specifications developed Standardisation of components Enhanced monitoring Scaling 2030 Outlook Nationally established model Collaboration with government stakeholders and potential scaling with international partners Local production and maintenance partners Project M240 Voices from the project « Thanks to our collaboration with ADES, we now have an institutional kitchen and have completed a five-day training course on its use. We have experienced many benefits, including environmental protection, significant savings in firewood consumption and shorter cooking times. The kitchen produces very little smoke, which protects both the health of the cooks and the environment. For me, this kitchen has brought nothing but improvements to our daily work, even though good organisation remains important for its effective use. » Herimiampita Fenohery, educator at the CERES boys’ boarding school in Andranomiadiloha (Fianarantsoa) ALL PROJECTS Any questions ?
