USAID/Madagascar TSIRO Baseline Survey
USAID/Madagascar contracted the Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) mechanism to conduct a baseline household survey and environmental monitoring as a benchmark for the Mission’s activities under the HEARTH program. This document reports findings from the baseline household survey for the TSIRO Alliance.
The Thriving/Tangible and Sustainable Investments for Land Restoration and Economic Opportunity (TSIRO) Alliance is a five-year activity that aims to conserve ecosystems and improve the well-being and prosperity of 2,000 small- and medium-hold farmers and their communities in two forest areas: the Tsaratanana Forest Corridor (COMATSA) and the Fandriana-Vondrozo Forest Corridor (COFAV). The activity is implemented by Catholic Relief Services (CRS), along with four private sector partners and two technical partners.
The USAID/Madagascar TSIRO Baseline Survey was designed to provide baseline estimates that will inform activity implementation and serve as a benchmark for future assessments. All aspects of the baseline survey were designed by INRM with support from USAID/Madagascar, the TSIRO Alliance, and CAETIC Développement.
