Rural Exodus: A Major Challenge for Madagascar
In 2022, poverty still affected 75.2% of the Malagasy population, an alarming figure that reveals the challenges facing the country. In rural areas, the situation is even more critical, with nearly 80% of residents living in poverty. However, cities are not spared: urban poverty has increased significantly in recent years, particularly in secondary cities, where it rose from 46% to 61%.
These statistics demonstrate the urgent need to act to improve living conditions in Madagascar. Recommended solutions include improving agriculture, creating more connected and resilient markets, and investing in education and health. By strengthening business productivity and developing social safety nets, we can hope to reverse the trend and provide a better future for all Malagasy people.
Historical context
In Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, nearly 23,000 children live on the streets, deprived of their basic rights. These children, wandering alone or with their families, are the direct victims of a massive rural exodus.
Since the 1990s, thousands of families have left their villages to seek a better life in the capital. But the reality often plunges them into extreme poverty: homelessness, slums, and a lack of opportunities. This constant migration has caused an explosion in urbanization, with more than 60% of housing in informal conditions.
Faced with this challenge, TAMANA acts at the source, valuing rural resources and working directly with local populations to build sustainable solutions.
