Abstract

Despite the intervention of numerous development projects, poverty persists in rural Madagascar. The main reasons for the failure of rural development activities often stem from the unsuitability of the project to the socio-cultural and economic context of the areas where it is implemented. In order to remedy this situation, it is necessary to resort to innovation, but is innovation really necessary in order to synchronise rural development projects with farmers' expectations?
Based on the hypothesis that innovation conditions the synchronisation of the actions of development projects with farmers' expectations. A survey of a sample of 200 rural farmers was used to examine the role of innovation in synchronising the actions of development projects with farmers' expectations.
