Position Overview
The USAID Hay Tao Program is part of the USAID/Madagascar Conservation and Communities Project (CCP), which aims to conserve biodiversity and secure natural resources while promoting resilient livelihoods. The primary goal is to improve and strengthen local outcomes by creating a supportive and enabling environment based on strong policy and legal frameworks, competent and accountable government agencies, and effective participation of CSOs and communities.
As part of its Strategic Approach 3, USAID Hay Tao seeks to develop innovative financing options for protected areas (PA) to improve biodiversity management. USAID Hay Tao will work with foundations supporting Madagascar’s PA system and biodiversity to strengthen them in carrying out their respective missions. An agreement was signed with Tany Meva Foundation and an action plan established to develop and strengthen their respective capacities, including financial sustainability and the establishment of a pluriannual financing strategy.
Established in 1996, Tany Meva Foundation is the first Malagasy environmental foundation and recognized as a public utility. As financial institution, Tany Meva mobilizes and allocates funds for communities through economic, social and environmental development initiatives in favor of sustainable natural resource management.
