Oxfam South Africa has begun to implement the nursery after identifying the location for the mangrove plantation. On June 3rd, community-based organisations and community members from Marofihitsy, one of the most vulnerable neighbourhoods in the rural commune of Belo-sur-Mer, the focus area of Hub Morondava, were mobilised. Women, elders, and youth were all present during the gathering.

Before the start of the activities, technical training was provided on how to fill pots and collect propagules. So far, the activity is going well, thanks to the enthusiastic engagement of the local communities.

This initiative follows the meeting held at the Morondava hub with stakeholders and authorities on 23 May.
