To address this, the Emergency Prevention and Management Unit (CPGU), supported by the World Bank, launched TRACK II, a project that focuses primarily on the construction, housing, and land use planning sectors. <\/p>\n After a five-year trial period and application of the rules and booklets mentioned above, the Malagasy government, under the aegis of the Ministry of Territorial Planning and Housing, through the CPGU and with the support of the GERCO firm, has developed the "National Standard for the Construction of Buildings Resistant to Natural Hazards in Madagascar". This activity is part of the technical assistance activities of Phase 1 of the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) financed by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) and implemented by the CPGU with the support of the World Bank (Grant Agreement TF0A5362).<\/p>\n The main innovations concern the consideration of natural hazards such as wind, rain and flooding, ground movements and earthquakes, sea spray, as well as the basis for designing wind and earthquakes. This standard was officially validated in September 2019.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t The National Academy of Arts and Culture (ANAC) This presidential project, built within the grounds of the Ambohitsorohitra State Palace, will provide training in, among other things, the visual and plastic arts, performing arts, public speaking, film and photography, singing and dance, as well as the conservation of cultural heritage and the preservation of Malagasy traditions, as well as cultural communication. ANAC will also have a large exhibition hall and a performance hall capable of hosting various cultural events and performances. Ultimately, ANAC aims to train professionals in the arts and culture sectors. In addition to its vocational training vocation, ANAC aims to support and promote Malagasy culture internationally.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The National Center for Music Education and Dance of Madagascar (CNEMD) will open, after renovations, in early 2021, followed by the opening of the ANAC; these two structures will be interconnected in the field of music and dance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
<\/b>Through ANAC, Madagascar will have its first major infrastructure dedicated to training in arts and culture in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n
