This document, titled "Roadmap for Infrastructure Resilience in the Republic of Madagascar," is a collaborative initiative between the Government of Madagascar, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), published in 2024. It outlines a strategic action plan to mitigate annual economic losses from disasters—estimated at nearly USD 100 million—by enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure against hazards like cyclones, floods, rising sea levels, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, fires, pandemics, and cyber attacks.

Using a participatory methodology, including geolocated data analysis, institutional mapping, and stress testing, the roadmap evaluates vulnerabilities across sectors such as transport (air, maritime, road, rail), energy, telecommunications, water and wastewater, and education. It identifies interdependencies and cascading risks, such as power outages disrupting water supply, and applies six Principles for Resilient Infrastructure: continuously learning, proactively protected, environmentally integrated, socially engaged, shared responsibility, and adaptively transforming.

Key recommendations include cross-cutting measures like improving data management, capacity building, governance coordination, and updating standards, alongside sector-specific actions such as stress testing airports, reinforcing power grids, and promoting nature-based solutions for flood-prone areas. This comprehensive guide supports policymakers, regulators, and operators in fostering sustainable, equitable development, reducing disruptions, and building adaptive systems for long-term resilience in Madagascar's vulnerable island context.
