Linking Health, Population and the Environment
Rapid destruction of Madagascar’s forests and ecological corridors,
coupled with a growing population, initiated USAID’s efforts to assist
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and other groups to link and integrate health, population and environment
(natural resource management) delivery approaches and activities.
USAID has played a major role in implementing integrated activities in 120
Malagasy communities to increase family planning, practice less destructive
natural resource management methods, increase food production, use forest resources
in more sustainable ways, cross-train field agents in both population and environment,
and work with schools to educate students on the environment and reproductive
health.
