264,380 people in 408 communities or fokontany in Malagasy, in 32 communes, were targeted by the project.
Financed by USAID from 2014 to 2019, ASOTRY project aimed to reduce food insecurity among targeted communities in the Amoron’i Mania, Haute Matsiatra, and Atsimo Andrefana regions of Madagascar.
To implement this project, ADRA partnered with Land O’Lakes (LOL) and Association Intercooperation Madagascar (AIM), both of which have extensive experience in Madagascar and expertise in food security. ASOTRY, meaning “harvest” in Malagasy, resulted in substantial and tangible improvements in malnutrition, agricultural productivity, household livelihoods and resilience by addressing the major underlying causes of food security.
