    The project began with a scoping meeting with Fanamby to refine the mandate. A startup report detailed the field methodology (selection criteria for sites and actors, interview guides, precise mission schedule, tools used).

    This was followed by extended missions in a representative sample of communes and fokontany (villages) across the 3 districts of the Protected Area. These included:

    - In-depth and confidential individual interviews with key stakeholders (mayors, village chiefs, elders, community leaders, Fanamby staff, government agents).
    - Facilitated focus groups at the village level to capture collective perceptions (women, youth, patrollers, farmers).
    - Participant observations (village meetings, patrols) to compare discourse with actual practices.

    Qualitative data were compiled, transcribed, and analyzed to identify recurring themes, blockages, and opportunities. A synthesis informed a strategic governance analysis report.

    Decentralized restitution and validation workshops presented the findings to local stakeholders, incorporated their feedback, and co-constructed an action plan.

    Concrete recommendations covered: Scenarios for renewed governance. Technical sheets for local groups. Action plan for the governmental approach.

    Coaching sessions strengthened the Fanamby team on field approaches and local support. The process culminated in the drafting and submission of the final report.
