Adaptation Fund in Alaotra-Mangoro, Madagascar

This household survey captured information on the characteristics of households in four districts of the Alaotra-Mangoro region, Madagascar. The survey was administered to 200 households that participated a UN Adaptation Fund project (known as "AFRice") and 400 households that did not participate. The overall goal of the survey was to measure distributional outcomes of the project, specifically whether the project benefited climate-vulnerable households.<br><br>Survey questions captured information about household wealth (as measured by key assets and socioeconomic indicators), education level, ethnicity and immigration status, food insecurity, coping strategies, and adaptive capacity. They also measured household political connectivity as a product of household and extended family members' positions in government, institutions of customary governance, security forces, and community-level leadership, as well as household members' participation in local committees. Finally, questions addressed forms of household participation in the AFRice project.
