Abstract

Tourism has become an important sector in Madagascar, with growing potential to generate income, create jobs, and foster international exchange. However, its contribution to the country's education system remains underexplored. This study investigates the ways in which tourism interacts with schools and universities, focusing on its impact on infrastructure, teacher capacity, student opportunities, and community perceptions. A qualitative research design is employed, combining direct observation and semi-structured interviews with 30 purposively selected informants, including school directors, teachers, university lecturers, students, parents, tourism operators, and local leaders. Data are analyzed thematically to identify key patterns and cross-validated through triangulation to ensure credibility. Findings reveal that tourism's influence on education in Madagascar is still modest and uneven. Some schools located near tourist destinations benefit from occasional donations or NGO-led projects, but most institutions lack systematic support. Teachers have limited access to training in foreign languages ​​or hospitality skills, which constrains their ability to prepare students for careers linked to tourism. Opportunities for students and universities remain narrow, as internships, vocational pathways, and collaborations with businesses are not yet well developed. Communities recognize tourism's potential to support education but express concern that benefits are concentrated in specific hubs, leaving many rural schools excluded. The study underscores the need for stronger linkages between tourism and education through targeted teacher training, structured internship programs, and equitable revenue-sharing mechanisms. By highlighting both opportunities and gaps, the research provides insights that can guide policymakers, educational institutions, and tourism stakeholders in designing more inclusive strategies. Ultimately, strengthening the connection between tourism and education can enhance human capital, promote equitable development, and contribute to Madagascar's long-term socio-economic progress.

Abstract

Southern Madagascar has become a frontline of climate vulnerability, where recurring droughts, erratic rainfall, and land degradation have exacerbated chronic food insecurity. This qualitative study explores how climate change affects rural communities in the Androy and Anosy regions and investigates the local adaptive strategies developed in response to environmental and socio-economic stressors. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, the study captures the lived experiences of affected populations through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. A total of 24 informants were selected using purposive sampling, including smallholder farmers, female-headed households, local community leaders, NGO workers, and agricultural extension officers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis of regional adaptation plans and NGO reports. The findings reveal that climate-induced food insecurity is not merely an ecological crisis but a deeply social issue influenced by poverty, gender roles, weak institutional support, and cultural land practices. Informants reported using a combination of traditional coping mechanisms such as food rationing, seasonal migration, and seed diversification and externally supported interventions such as cash-for-work programs and drought-resilient crops. However, many of these strategies remain short-term, reactive, and unequally accessible. This study concludes that while community resilience is evident, structural barriers persist in achieving long-term adaptation. Policy implications include the need for localized climate adaptation policies, strengthened agricultural extension services, and the inclusion of indigenous knowledge in planning processes. By centering voices from the most affected regions, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the human dimensions of climate vulnerability in Madagascar.
