Additional Context: Madagascar has experienced a sharp reduction in international humanitarian assistance in recent years, largely driven by U.S. funding cuts. These cuts are expected to exacerbate humanitarian needs in coming cyclone seasons.

Devex Researcher Note: U.S. foreign assistance in Madagascar was heavily focused on food security and nutrition, health (especially malaria and maternal health), WASH, and building long-term resilience against drought and cyclones, primarily in the country's vulnerable southern regions. Disaster risk reduction support was woven throughout the development and humanitarian work in the country.
