The improved infrastructure will provide better access to markets, healthcare and education for over 1.5 million people, significantly reduce travel time and boost trade flows. The project aims to stimulate local markets, particularly in agriculture, and improve living conditions in Madagascar’s most vulnerable regions.
According to UNDP/UNCDF, people in Madagascar spend USD 626 million annually on all energy sources. Of this spending, 38% is spent on electricity. 58% is spent on other energy sources such as charcoal, oil or candles and the remaining 4% is spent on gas.
Madagascar’s poor infrastructure also negatively affects its economy. Of the more than 30,000 miles of roads in the country, only about 19% are paved. Many of these roads become impossible to pass during the nation’s rainy season. Furthermore, railroads are not in much better shape; there are two unconnected lines in poor condition.
The OPEC Fund also signed a Letter of Intent for the Promotion of Clean Cooking in Madagascar in collaboration with the African Development Bank, Africa50 and Madagascar’s Ministry of Energy and Hydrocarbons. This partnership will facilitate coordinated efforts to scale up clean energy solutions across the country.
Meanwhile, the US$30 million infrastructure loan will be spent on developing vital transport corridors in Madagascar’s southern regions, including the isolated Anosy and Androy areas, which are regularly hit by drought and famine.
