The MADEGASCAR consortium of 15 partners from 10 countries ensures that the results from the project will be widely disseminated and implemented in Europe. More experienced partners will transfer knowledge to less advanced regions within the established regional and European networks. A steering group of WP leaders together with the coordinator will manage the project throughout the project.
