Reporting positive contribution of volunteering to the SDGs
Paragraph 1, page 22
To promote citizen participation in community development, the Ministry of Communication and Culture created the ‘Tagnamaro’ initiative in 2019. The existence of a legislative framework as set out in Law No. 2015-015 of 10 August 2015 on volunteering facilitates the implementation of the SDGs by volunteers.
Paragraph 2, page 24
2.5 Leave no one behind: The country is making efforts to “Leave no one behind” and is ensuring that all stakeholders in the country participate in development, including civil society organizations, the private sector, women, girls, children, youth, people with disabilities and volunteers, among others. One example is the effective participation of the platform of associations of people with disabilities in the drafting of the VNR. In other words, concrete actions are being implemented to tackle inequality and discrimination and to identify vulnerable groups so that they can participate fully in development efforts. This requires collaboration between the Government and the technical and financial partners, as well as all development actors, in the formulation and financing of actions and the targeting of those who may be left behind. Efforts are being made on a sectoral level to involve all stakeholders. In fact, in collaboration with volunteers from the NGO France Volontaires, institutional volunteers from the Ministry of Communication and Culture have worked in the area of health, particularly: in controlling COVID-19, tackling hunger, disseminating the law on reproductive health and family planning, raising awareness of menstrual health and establishing a network of actors working on sexual and reproductive health. [...]
Paragraph 3, page 40
In 2019, 221 ‘Tagnamaro’ initiatives were launched in the 22 regions, focusing on schools, public gardens and markets, drainage channels, roads, hospitals, etc. These actions declined by 49.7 percent in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These efforts at citizen participation have resulted in the involvement of at least 1,000 volunteers every month in the 22 regions.
Paragraph 4, page 61
To prepare the population for natural disasters, the Ministry of Communication and Culture is involved in raising awareness of early warning systems for affected communities. Activities include training and public awareness-raising, effective messaging and ensuring a constant state of disaster preparedness. More specifically, the actions consist of interpersonal communications (via home visit, small group meetings or chats with households and in the communes). Between 2016 and 2019, Ministry officials and volunteers conducted around 36,000 interpersonal communications, on all risk and disaster management (RDM) topics, in risk areas. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult to get out into the field. Only 198 interpersonal communications were thus conducted, and solely on the barrier actions and information required for COVID-19. Between 2016 and 2019, 2,000 posters on the instructions and information needed to cope with cyclones and floods were put up every year by Ministry officials and volunteers. Finally, 18,000 volunteers were mobilized each year, on all RDM themes.
Paragraph 5, page 69
Promoting sustainable forest management in protected areas, renewable natural resources and ecosystems requires an assessment of the trends in the status of threatened species as noted in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index. The Ministry of Communication and Culture mobilizes communities and coordinates volunteers to raise awareness of deforestation and forest restoration, promote sustainable forest management, and slash-and-burn agriculture (tavy) and reforestation in 12 communes per year. Between 2016 and 2018, the Ministry planted 3,000 seedlings each year in several regions of Madagascar. An increase of 15 percent was noted in 2020 due to the efforts of the volunteers, with an average of 12,000 volunteers per year.

Partenariats dans le cadre de la Priorité stratégique 3 : Les organismes du SNU œuvrent pour la mise en place et l’opérationnalisation d’un cadre intégré et cohérent de politiques publiques, la mobilisation et le renforcement du secteur privé en partenariat avec le Gouvernement, les groupements économiques, la société civile et les organisations impliquant les volontaires.
Paragraph 2, page 19
Avec le troisième produit (préliminaire) – L’application de la gestion des risques de catastrophes et des mesures d’adaptation et d’atténuation au changement climatique est renforcée, entre autres avec une forte implication des femmes et des jeunes, y compris à travers le volontariat – le SNU à Madagascar vise au renforcement de la gouvernance des risques de catastrophes, en mettant en œuvre des mesures de prévention et de renforcement de la résilience des communautés (adaptation et atténuation au changement climatique), des infrastructures et des secteurs économiques clés face au changement climatique et augmentant la capacité de réponse. /.../ Dans le cadre de cette priorité stratégique, l’action du SNU cible en premier lieu la population vulnérable, les femmes et les jeunes qui sont plus sujets aux risques de catastrophes et au changement climatique mais également capables d’apporter des réponses aux défis multiples à travers le volontariat et autres formes d’engagement citoyen, mais qui ont également un grand potentiel en tant qu’agents de changement.
Paragraph 3, page 20
Le SNU misera également sur les engagements de la société civile notamment des organisations œuvrant pour le pilier « planète » du Programme 2030, dont les associations mobilisant les jeunes et les organisations impliquant les volontaires.
Paragraph 4, page 27
Le volontariat, qui est un élément essentiel de la cuture malagasy, sera aussi favorisé en raison de son importante contribution potentielle à la cohésion sociale et aux ODD.
