Case study 13 (cntd.)

Lessons For Madagascar, the world’s fourth-largest island and the widest island in theWIO, the Blue Economy concept is already an inherent and historical part of its development and culture. Notwithstanding the fact that the large majority of the population of Madagascar is naturally devoted to agriculture, the country’s economic renewal will go through a proactive adoption of Blue solutions with respect to the island’s unique wildlife and flora. A dedicated Blue Economy policy with various priority areas, including water management, implemented in an integrated manner is a key lesson for the future.
