International aid funding cuts are set to have devastating consequences for Madagascar’s south, where food insecurity, health services, and education support rely heavily on external assistance.

Over the past five years, USAID alone has provided over $787 million in aid to Madagascar, including $253 million to the health sector. With the United States, the largest single-country donor to Madagascar, scaling back funding as part of its 'America First' agenda, many critical projects are now at risk. Large-scale emergency food relief programmes in the country’s south, primarily funded through USAID, will face major disruptions. This comes at a time when the record-breaking dry weather seen over recent months could push food insecurity to critical levels.

With the U.S., Germany, and U.K., historically some of the largest global aid funders, making drastic reductions, the long-term implications for Madagascar’s southeast are alarming. These cuts could leave SEED as one of just a few remaining organisations able to provide food aid and other critical health support in the region.

Now more than ever, we need your help. Families in Madagascar’s south are facing an uncertain and increasingly difficult future, and SEED is committed to providing as much support and reassurance as possible.

Your donations are vital in sustaining life-changing programmes.
