Environmental Education Activities Madagascar

This page is part of an Open Science Fellowship that is funded by Wikimedia Germany and the Stifterverband. The research project aims to collect information on environmental education (EE) activities and programmes that are implemented by different NGOs in Madagascar. This includes current and past projects, and aims to increase awareness and knowledge of practitioners and researchers about the kind of educational projects and materials that do already exist in the country. The shared and open accessible knowledge might prevent time- and cost-intense reinventions. The information shared on this page by Lena Reibelt (discuss • contribs) has been provided by members of the respective NGOs, who gave consent to publish this information on Wikiversity. The NGOs and their respective activities are listed below by alphabetical order.

Our aim is to list as many NGOs and their programmes or activities as possible. Please join, and contribute either via Wikiversity or email.
