During the previous program, improvements in the policy and legal framework were made. PAGE 2 currently aims to operationalize the tools and instruments resulting from this framework, with the regions. This is how themes such as the development of value chains, the development of natural resources and the protection of biodiversity, the sustainable management of natural resources as well as adaptation to climate change, capacity building of state actors and value chain actors and the fight against corruption are implemented in the DIANA and Boeny regions, with a view to good environmental governance. In its areas of intervention, PAGE 2 supports state technical services, decentralized communities, farmers' groups, local communities, civil society organizations and collaborates with the private sector.
