International Human Solidarity Day

The Sustainable Development Agenda is centred on people & planet, underpinned by human rights and supported by a global partnership determined to lift people out of poverty, hunger and disease. It will, thus, be built on a foundation of global cooperation and solidarity.

International Human Solidarity Day is:

  • a day to celebrate our unity in diversity;
  • a day to remind governments to respect their commitments to international agreements;
  • a day to raise public awareness of the importance of solidarity;
  • a day to encourage debate on the ways to promote solidarity for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals including poverty eradication;
  • a day of action to encourage new initiatives for poverty eradication.

One Love.

UNESCO boosts financial independence through sustainable fish farming in Madagascar

UNESCO boosts financial independence through sustainable fish farming in Madagascar

Meet Jean Didier Nonta, 55, father of four children.

He lives in the fokontany of Ambodivohitra, Andapa district, in Madagascar’s Sava region.

Like many members of his community, Jean Didier used to rely heavily on the exploitation of forest resources for his livelihood and to support his family.

This includes the cutting of trees for the manufacture of planks and other non-timber forest resources, seriously threatening the sustainability of local forests and biodiversity.

With the support of the UNESCO project, BIOCOM, Jean Didier benefited from training in fish farming in March 2022 and received 800 fry.

He was able to transform a small pond of 30 m² into a pond of 60 m², which allowed him to generate 1,000,000 MGA from the first sale of fish.

Subsequently, he was able to create seven new ponds and ensure regular production of fry.
