Local partners

SEED Madagascar's projects are designed to work with communities, partners and regional authorities to assess local needs, ensure community ownership and assist the government in their development aims. By working with local partners we make sure our projects, from beginning to end, address challenges as prioritised by the community.

ONG Azafady is an independent Malagasy association established in 1996. It employs some 60 local staff, all experts in their fields, who are responsible for implementing SEED projects on the ground as well as providing information for regular reports in line with every donor's individual requirements. They are supported by SEED's in-country representatives who assist with project development and provide a link between the two organisations.

Project Malio
