Feedback Madagascar has worked with the community of Antoebe, near the forest in the Ambohimahamasina municipality, for 3 years.

“In 15 years” says Nathalie, “the situation has barely improved and people are just as poor as they were back then. We need to start encouraging the local communities not to wait for the government or NGOs to come and improve things, but to have the confidence to take their own initiative, to know that they can make the changes themselves”
