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.

Project M300 Reforestation Strengthening the livelihoods of the local communities ALL PROJECTS 01 Context Madagascar is severely affected by climate change, with 80 per cent of the population living in poverty. A lack of infrastructure and low purchasing power lead to the over-exploitation of natural resources. The greatest threat to the environment and biodiversity lies in the disappearance of forests, caused by bushfires, charcoal production, and logging. Furthermore, large-scale destruction caused by grazing fires associated with livestock farming leads to significant problems. This environmental destruction threatens both the livelihoods of Madagascar’s growing population and the existence of globally unique ecosystems. 02 Executive Summary Through its reforestation project, ADES is tackling Madagascar’s key challenges – deforestation, poverty, unemployment and food insecurity. Since the project began in 2019, over 1,300,000 trees have been planted, covering more than 500 hectares of forest. The project promotes environmental sustainability, economic development, and education. It ensures improved food security, greater biodiversity, and better water retention, whilst preventing further soil erosion. The jobs created also provide a source of income for the local population. The reforestation project is carried out annually. 03 Outcomes Through the project, rural households and community groups develop a sound understanding of environmental issues and integrate this into their daily lives, where they pass it on to others. The aim is to contribute to long-term social change, in which the protection of natural resources, a mindful approach to the environment, and an understanding of ecological interdependencies become an integral part of people’s thinking and actions. In doing so, reforestation areas are to be secured on a permanent basis. Timeline The project is scheduled to run from August 2026 to July 2028 and forms part of a long-term commitment running until 2030.

Project M233 Empowerment Promoting the independence of retailers ALL PROJECTS 01 Context More than 90 per cent of Madagascar’s population still cooks using wood or charcoal. This leads to massive deforestation, high CO₂ emissions and health problems caused by indoor smoke. The sale of ADES stoves not only provides resellers with an income, but also helps to protect the climate and public health. However, many resellers themselves live in precarious circumstances and require targeted support to run their businesses successfully. 02 Executive Summary Project M233 – Empowerment: Helping Resellers Become Self-Sufficient strengthens ADES’s nationwide distribution network in Madagascar and specifically promotes the economic self-sufficiency of resellers, particularly women. The income impact is complemented by measurably enhanced entrepreneurial, commercial and digital skills. Key levers for impact include a fair margin policy, structured training and further education, the gradual digitalisation of sales, and targeted measures to boost visibility and motivation within the reseller network. The project is being implemented across all 24 regions of Madagascar and combines economic empowerment with climate and health protection through the widespread distribution of clean cooking solutions. Impact is continuously recorded and actively managed via ADES’s monitoring system. 03 Outcomes The M233 project strengthens the economic independence of resellers across Madagascar – particularly women. Fair margins, training, and long-term support generate stable additional income and new economic prospects. Many resellers invest their earnings in small businesses, agriculture, education, or the expansion of their sales activities. This sustainably improves the financial resilience of entire households. At the same time, the project contributes to the nationwide dissemination of clean cooking solutions and combines local income generation with climate, health, and forest conservation. Timeline The project is proposed for the period January 2026 to December 2028 and forms part of a long-term commitment running until 2030.

I have grown in my role. I sell around 45 OLIs per month.
