Madagascar is intensifying its stance against corruption. The steering committee chaired by Prime Minister Mamitiana Rajaonarison has approved the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy (SNLCC) for the period 2025–2030, the Malagasy Prime Minister’s Office announced on Saturday.
Aligned with the country’s General Policy of Refoundation, this new roadmap makes the fight against corruption a national priority. Authorities are planning several major reforms, particularly targeting “state capture,” irregularities in public procurement, and misconduct in the management of public affairs. Digital sovereignty is also among the strategic priorities identified.
The government also intends to strengthen asset investigations and intensify efforts against illicit enrichment. The strategy includes mechanisms for the confiscation of assets in certain cases, even without prior conviction, as well as the creation of joint teams between anti-corruption bodies to handle cases with major economic impact.
Authorities are also relying on improved coordination between institutions through the rapid sharing of information, documents, and statistics, with a particular focus on economic and financial prosecutions.
Through this strategy, Madagascar says it aims to establish a policy of “zero tolerance” toward corruption. The government insists that no act of corruption will be tolerated and that any offense will result in immediate sanctions.
For the Malagasy authorities, this anti-corruption drive must become a lever for economic development, national sovereignty, and the restoration of citizens’ trust in public institutions.
