FACTS:
- Madagascar ranks among the world’s poorest countries, with more than two-thirds of the population living below the poverty line
- The country suffers from a lasting political crisis since 2009. The origin of this crisis was the forced resignation of the elected president on March 17, 2009 in an effective military coup
- The economy has declined since. Unemployment, lack of food, insecurity, crime and corruption are on the rise
- The number of child labourers has risen to 2,000,000 children under the age of 15
- Madagascar is the third most vulnerable country to natural disasters after Bangladesh and India. Frequent cyclones and tropical storms batter the island nation, leaving widespread devastation that impedes the development of this impoverished population
- In 2010 Madagascar had an average of 3 hospital beds per 10,000 people and a total of 3,150 doctors, 5,661 nurses, 385 community health workers, 175 pharmacists and 57 dentists for a population of just under 22 million
- In 2012, the population of Madagascar was estimated at just over 22 million, 90 percent of whom live on less than two dollars per day
- Deforestation with resulting desertification, water resource degradation and soil loss has affected approximately 94% of Madagascar’s previously biologically productive lands
