A Madagascar, l'ampleur des inegalites entre milieux urbain et rural necessite de mettre en œuvre des politiques de developpement ciblees sur le milieu rural. En s'interessant a l'analyse de la diversification des activites, l'article tend a demontrer que la seule relance de la croissance en milieu rural (par une hausse des rendements agricoles et un desenclavement) est susceptible de n'avoir qu'un impact limite sur la pauvrete persistante. En effet, tous les menages n'ont pas la possibilite de profiter des opportunites nouvelles offertes par la croissance et les menages les plus demunis, caracterises par des ressources limitees, risquent d'etre durablement exclus. L'analyse montre que les menages les moins bien dotes en ressources sont incapables de mettre en œuvre les formes de diversification des activites qui protegent de la pauvrete et sont au contraire contraints a s'engager dans des formes de diversifications associees a la pauvrete durable. In Madagascar, the inequality gap between urban and rural areas requires the implementation of rural-specific development policies. By analysing the diversification of activities, this paper strives to demonstrate that only reviving growth in rural areas (through an increase of agricultural yields and opening up the area) would have a limited impact on the persisting poverty. In fact, not all households have the possibility to take advantage of new opportunities provided by growth and the most deprived households, which have limited resources, risk being excluded permanently. The analysis shows that the households with fewer resources are incapable of implementing the forms of activity diversification that protect from poverty and on the contrary are constrained to engage in forms of diversification associated with permanent poverty
