UNESCO’s BIOCOM project provides training in construction, entrepreneurship and aquaculture for young people in Madagascar’s Sava region. It aims to widen employment options around Marojejy National Park and reduce pressure on forest resources.

At Sambava Vocational Training Centre, participants study construction and public works through classroom and practical learning, including internships with local companies. Aquaculture training promotes fish farming as an alternative source of income as vanilla prices fall.
