ABOUT: The Initiative for Development, Ecological Restoration, and Innovation (INDRI) is a "think-and-do-tank" founded in 2020 by 14 leaders from civil society and the private sector committed to changing Madagascar. INDRI is an independent and apolitical local entity serving Madagascar and all its stakeholders. INDRI is an independent, non-political structure governed by local law, at the service of Madagascar and all its stakeholders. Indri is also the name of Madagascar’s largest lemur, a species revered in local legends as an ancestor and wise spirit of the forest. This animal is capable of sounding the alarm when necessary, with a cry that carries for several kilometers. 

INDRI acts as a strategic expertise center and a collective intelligence mobilization and advocacy body. INDRI aims to bring about large-scale change in terrestrial, marine, and urban environments. Our work draws on national and international best practice as well as consultation among stakeholders (authorities, civil society, researchers, private sector, NGOs and funders) with the aim of proposing high-impact strategies and facilitating their implementation. 

VISION    

“Madagascar is emerging as an environmental leader, where civil society, the private sector and public authorities join forces to build a prosperous future for the terrestrial, marine and urban landscape.”

MISSION   

“INDRI mobilizes the expertise, intelligence, and courage of all stakeholders to achieve relevant and effectively implemented public policies across Madagascar’s terrestrial, marine, and urban landscapes.”
