# Madagascar Private Sector Humanitarian Platform (PSHP Madagascar) ## OVERVIEW ### RISK PROFILE Madagascar is one of the world's most cyclone- and drought-exposed nations, having weathered 35 cyclones, eight major floods and five severe droughts over the past two decades despite contributing less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Without further adaptation investment, the World Bank projects Madagascar's GDP could decline by 5.8% by 2050, pushing an additional 1.68 million people into poverty. The Private Sector Humanitarian Platform (PSHP) is a non profit business association that brings together private sector companies in Madagascar. It aims to support disaster management efforts in the country by building synergies and complementarities between different stakeholders. PSHP Madagascar supports the Malagasy private sector in strategically engaging in national disaster risk reduction, preparedness, response and recovery. PSHP Madagascar’s mission is to gather, facilitate and coordinate the humanitarian contributions of its members and build their capacity to improve operational efficiency. More specifically, the network's objectives include: - Improving disaster management, including humanitarian aid, by establishing a stronger connection between the private sector, the National Bureau for Disaster and Risk Management and traditional humanitarian and development organizations; - Identifying specific areas or inputs for member companies to support preparedness, response and recovery; - Promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) by creating and implementing projects with PSHP Madagascar member companies.
