Madagascar Independence Day

Mrs Amina Djao Aly is one of thousands of cacao farmers in the Diana Region who receive technical support from AKF. As a result, she is able to grow beans of a superior quality and sell them for a higher price, thereby improving her revenue.

Madagascar celebrates its Independence Day every 26 June. This is the date in 1960 when its complete independence from France was achieved and recognised. Since 2005 the Aga Khan Development Network has been undertaking development activities in both rural and urban contexts in various parts of the country, working across agriculture, nutrition, climate adaptation, access to finance, improving value chains, and creating market linkages. These photos capture the faces of some of the 82’000 beneficiaries who we’ve reached across the regions of Sofia, Diana and Analamanga.
