Since 2009, the cumulative effect of frequent natural disasters, the global economic and food crises, and the extended political crisis has severely threatened the human security situation in Madagascar. At the same time, the relentless pace of urban migration has concentrated the country’s population in the capital, Antananarivo, where over 70 per cent of the population lives in informal settlements.
