    The major role tropical forests play in
    biodiversity and climate change has led the world to search
    for effective ways to slow down deforestation. Community
    forest management (CFM) is an example of the broader concept
    of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM). As
    part of the decentralization policy in many countries,
    mainly in Africa and Asia, CFM was expected to promote: (i)
    a more effective stewardship of the resources by involving

    This study was commissioned to analyse
    the cost efficiency and economic viability of an ethanol
    programme, for reducing disease, and protecting the forests
    in Madagascar. This information is also expected to be of
    interest regionally and internationally, given that the
    World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are
    nearly two million deaths per annum globally due to
    Household Air Pollution (HAP), representing 2.7 percent of

    Madagascar has been entirely
    unsuccessful in reducing the number of its people that are
    poor, or extremely so, in the ten years since 2001, when
    poverty was already at a very high level. This well-known
    conclusion draws on the analysis of three successive rounds
    of the national household expenditure surveys (enquete
    periodiques aupres des menages, EPM) conducted by the
    Madagascar National Institute of Statistics (INSTAT) in

    Two major innovations have inter alia emerged from the land reform in Madagascar: (i)

    decentralised land management through the creation of local land offices, and (ii)

    certification, which enables individuals to register private property provided the community

    agrees on the legitimacy of the claimed rights.

    Despite the political crisis and the withdrawal of international aid during this period (2009 -

    2013), new local land offices have been created, and now cover a third of the country’s

    This report examines the question of
    land titling in Madagascar, a country where modern and
    informal tenure systems coexist and overlap to a significant
    extent. The report reviews three main arguments for land
    titling and their relevance for Madagascar in order to
    provide policy implications and evaluations. The first is
    that land titling serves as protection against
    expropriation. Second, titles may also facilitate land

    The objective of this study is to
    accompany Malagasy authorities in their transition towards
    economic emergence. If the contribution of foreign capital
    and the abundance of natural resources should help the
    Malagasy economy escape from the poverty trap by increasing
    its domestic savings and investment capacities, as well as
    its technological capacities. International experience
    reminds us that this transition is far from being automatic.
