Description: The project aimed to restore the quantity and quality of water resources in the Ourovéni watershed, resulting in significant outcomes. Workshops led to the establishment of an action programme, with the Mahoraise Federation of Environmental Associations conducting a shared diagnosis, raising awareness, and developing a management plan. The project achieved specific objectives such as fostering collaboration among local actors, developing a concerted action plan, and building capacity through training sessions. As a result, 27 action sheets were developed, covering infrastructure improvements, training, monitoring, and territorial animation. Efforts are ongoing to sustain momentum, including plans to replicate the project’s methodology on other priority catchments. Additionally, the project facilitated the revitalisation of local environmental associations, strengthened partnerships, and promoted peace-building between rival villages through environmental initiatives. Lessons learned emphasised the importance of ground-level engagement, mobilisation, empowerment, and effective training in awareness-raising techniques.
