Project M570 ADES Village+ Climate-Resilient Villages for Madagascar ALL PROJECTS 01 Context Madagascar is heavily affected by deforestation, biodiversity loss and the impacts of climate change. Many families still cook with firewood or charcoal, while schools and communities often have only limited resources for sustainable development. With Village+, ADES brings together more than 25 years of experience in an integrated village development model. The project combines clean cooking energy, reforestation, environmental education, sustainable school kitchens and local entrepreneurship into a holistic approach for climate-resilient villages 02 Executive Summary Village+ creates climate-resilient villages by bringing together five proven ADES approaches into one integrated programme: clean cooking energy, reforestation and biodiversity, environmental education, sustainable school kitchens, and local entrepreneurship. Together with local communities, solutions are developed to protect natural resources, promote education and create new income opportunities. The implementation of the first pilot villages is planned from 2028 onwards. 03 Outcomes Clean Cooking Energy Access to improved cooking solutions Reduced firewood consumption and lower CO₂ emissions Reforestation and Biodiversity Restoration of degraded land Protection of natural resources and promotion of biodiversity Strengthened local stewardship of natural resources Environmental Education Strengthened environmental and climate protection skills among children, young people and teachers Increased environmental awareness within communities and long-term adoption of sustainable practices Sustainable School Kitchens Energy-efficient cooking solutions for schools Improved school meals with reduced firewood consumption Local Entrepreneurship New income opportunities through local distribution and service networks Strengthened economic resilience of local communities Timeline The project is planned for the period from January 2026 to December 2028 and forms part of a long-term commitment extending to 2030.

Key lessons incorporated into the concept include: Local governance instead of top-down approaches: Sustainable impact is achieved where communities are actively involved. Village+ therefore relies on local steering committees in each model village. Infrastructure requires support : Building kitchens or distributing cookstoves alone is not enough. Training, local role models and trained contact persons encourage effective use and behavioural change. Participation strengthens resilience : The best results were achieved when local actors were not only users, but also co-creators. Monitoring as a learning tool : Digital tools improve impact measurement and enable continuous adaptation. Strategic focus : Drawing on lessons learned between 2023 and 2025, ADES is placing greater emphasis on structurally disadvantaged rural regions. We are looking for committed partners to support the implementation of this project. Contact us to learn more about funding and partnership opportunities. ALL PROJECTS Any questions ?
