Impact evaluation endline report for FP026: Sustaniable Landscapes in Eastern Madagascar

This report presents the endline findings of an impact evaluation of the Sustainable Landscapes in Eastern Madagascar project, which aimed to reduce deforestation and strengthen climate resilience through sustainable forest management and climate-resilient agriculture. Using a rigorous difference-in-differences design and panel data from 1,603 households surveyed in 2019 and 2025, the evaluation finds reductions in deforestation, increased adoption of year-round farming systems, and higher agricultural incomes. The findings also highlight improved resilience during the 2022 cyclone, driven by more diversified livelihoods, while underscoring ongoing challenges in sustaining complex conservation practices, particularly among female-headed households.
