Abstract

This study examines the impact of decentralization on governance and political accountability in Madagascar, where reforms aim to bring government closer to citizens and enhance service delivery, participation, and accountability. Despite these intentions, concerns persist about the practical effectiveness of decentralization at the local level. Employing a qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews with 40 participants, comprising 20 citizens from various regions and 20 political actors, including mayors, parliamentary assistants, and local officials. These perspectives reveal that decentralization has improved physical access to government structures and opened limited avenues for citizen engagement. However, its implementation remains weak and uneven. Key challenges include limited financial and technical resources, low administrative capacity, and ineffective accountability mechanisms. In many instances, responsibilities have been devolved without adequate support, leading to frustration among both citizens and local authorities. The findings suggest that meaningful decentralization requires not only the transfer of authority but also robust institutional frameworks, sustained capacity-building, and inclusive governance practices. By highlighting the lived realities of both citizens and officials, this study provides practical insights for policymakers and development partners seeking to enhance the effectiveness of local governance and strengthen democratic accountability in Madagascar.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of technology in school resource management in public elementary schools in Madagascar. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as primary data collection techniques. The key informants for this study are 10 school principals from various public elementary schools across Madagascar, selected based on their experience and administrative roles. The findings of this study highlight three critical aspects: first, technology plays a significant role in enhancing school management efficiency, allowing for better planning, communication, and monitoring of school resources. Second, it contributes to the improvement of school archives, with digital records providing easy access, security, and long-term preservation of important school documents. Finally, the study reveals several challenges to technology adoption, including limited digital literacy among staff, inadequate infrastructure, and financial constraints that hinder the full integration of technology in resource management. The study concludes by recommending targeted training programs for school staff, enhanced funding for technological infrastructure, and the development of a clear digital resource management policy tailored to the needs of public elementary schools in Madagascar.

Abstract

This study explores key dimensions of governance in developing countries, with a focus on the factors that influence government effectiveness, institutional integrity, and public accountability. Using a qualitative approach methodology, the study uses documentation analysis as its primary method, drawing on secondary data from reputable sources such as World Bank reports, government documents, and publications by international organizations. The findings highlight persistent challenges faced by developing nations, including weak institutions, limited civic participation, inefficient service delivery, inconsistent regulatory practices, and systemic corruption. Despite numerous reform efforts, progress has often been hindered by lack of political will, inadequate resources, and entrenched power structures. However, the study also identifies examples of best practices and emerging innovations such as digital governance tools and community-based accountability mechanisms that offer potential pathways for improvement. By analyzing these governance dimensions, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the structural and contextual factors that influence governance effectiveness in developing contexts, offering insights for policymakers, development partners, and scholars seeking to promote more inclusive and accountable governance systems.

Abstract

This study explores drivers’ experiences of traffic police corruption in Madagascar, focusing on operations within the National Police and Gendarmerie. Using qualitative research methods, the study conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 30 drivers from diverse socio-economic backgrounds who regularly interacted with traffic authorities in urban and rural regional in Madagascar. The interviews aimed to explore drivers’ perceptions, personal experiences, and coping strategies for navigating traffic encounters caused by corruption. The results indicate that drivers face frequent bribery demands from traffic police, especially in cases of minor infractions, where bribery is considered an effective means to avoid legal penalties. The study also highlights the role of power dynamics and lack of accountability in these corrupt practices. Informal networks of drivers and police contribute to a cycle of mutual reinforcement. Drivers’ responses also reveal a widespread erosion of trust in both the national police and gendarmerie, which are seen as a barrier to effective policing and public safety. The study underscores the need for reform of law enforcement practices, enhanced oversight, increased public awareness, and highlighting the critical role of the government in reducing corruption and improving traffic law enforcement in Madagascar.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of vali-vazaha, marriage or concubinage with foreigners in the Southwest region of Madagascar, where tourism strongly influences local socio-cultural practices. While education is widely recognized as a fundamental right and a cornerstone of sustainable development, many families continue to prioritize early marriage, particularly with vazaha, as a faster route to economic and social mobility. Employing a qualitative field-based approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and participant observation in three rural coastal communes: Itampolo, Belalanda (Mangily), and Befandefa (Andavadoaka). A purposive sample of 30 participants, including parents, young girls, teachers, and community leaders, provided diverse perspectives on the interplay between education, tradition, and marriage practices. The findings reveal a paradox: although education is acknowledged as valuable, its long-term benefits are often overshadowed by the immediate financial advantages of early marriage. Tourism and exposure to foreigners have reshaped local aspirations, reinforcing the perception of marriage with a vazaha as a shortcut to prestige and stability. Girls are the most affected, as they face school dropout, limited autonomy, and early social responsibilities. The study highlights how economic insecurity entrenched cultural norms, and weak institutional support collectively perpetuate this practice. By analyzing these dynamics through Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital, Berry's acculturation framework, and Durkheim's perspective on social norms, the study contributes a novel understanding of how globalization and local traditions intersect in shaping educational trajectories. It underscores the urgent need for context-sensitive policies that both strengthen educational opportunities for girls and address the socio-economic drivers of early marriage.
