7. RURAL DEVELOPMENT Dynamic rural development and real poverty alleviation is at the core of the government’s endeavors. Our rural areas will flourish and prosper through the substantial increase in the agricultural production and the creation of agri-business centers in every region, and the provision of needs such as irrigation, seeds and storage facilities.

NATIONAL SOLIDARITY We will continue to forge a strong, unified national identity that honors the multitude of cultures and traditions of all the people of Madagascar and promotes participation and partnership.

13. THE BENEFITS • FOR THE PEOPLE OF MADAGASCAR: The MAP should create optimism and confidence in the future. They should feel that the MAP is not something being done to them but with them and by them. • FOR THE MALAGASY PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: The vision of the MAP must empower the civil service. They must realize that this is a privileged and unique opportunity to be part of something special and vital. Ultimately, they must feel that they are driving the implementation of the Action Plan. They have to be committed to accomplishing outstanding results, producing quality work, and providing real service to the people of Madagascar and the country at large. • FOR NATIONAL INVESTORS: They must feel confident that real and sustainable change is happening. They must see themselves as critical to the success of the Madagascar Action Plan by investing in the private sector and not putting their funds overseas. • FOR INTERNATIONAL INVESTORS: They must feel confident and excited about investing in Madagascar. Their confidence will arise due to the nation’s political stability and the political will and foresight of the government. They must see that government policy, the legal framework, the infrastructure, and bureaucracy are now organized in support of facilitating and protecting their investments. • FOR THE DONORS: The donors should see Madagascar as a pilot country in regards to the support and implementation of a creative and bold plan that will really lead to quantum change and sustainable development. In other words, the donors must see that here is a country that is truly committed to “getting it right” and not wasting the funds and good will that it is given.

14. THE GUIDING VALUES PROFESSIONALISM IN ALL WE DO Everybody must work to achieve the best professional standards. SHARED LEADERSHIP Leadership must be displayed at all levels of society and all sectors. Leaders must show initiative and focus and mobilize people and resources to make the vision and MAP goals a reality. CAPACITY BUILDING We must be continuous learners and constantly work to strengthen our skills and abilities, and our institutional capabilities so that we can succeed. PARTICIPATION & COOPERATION We will promote participation and cooperation with all the people, regions, communes, civil society and donors. LEVERAGE RESOURCES We must minimize waste and maximize gains to ensure the smart and productive use of the nation’s resources. COMPETITIVENESS In order to succeed in the global market place and the national and international arena, our educational system, civil service, and the private sector must be highly competitive THE WILL TO SUCCEED We will do what we say

15. What about the PRSP? • The MAP will supercede PRSP. • The PRSP has achieved its results. The completion point has been reached. Now we have to focus on a new planning period of 5 years actions (2007 to 2011) to achieve breakthrough goals in 2012, react to global and national opportunities and challenges and make our planning system more efficient and ambitious. • The difference: • The MAP defines specific numeric breakthrough goals based on the Vision « Madagascar – naturally! » and the UN Millennium Development Goals. • The MAP creates a clear link between these goals and the necessary actions, investment and finance. • The MAP will give clear outlines for national sector programs. • With the inclusion of territory planning, the MAP will ensure that regional and sectoral plans and activities are in line with national objectives. • The MAP responds to donors’ promises, demands mid-term donor comitment, enhances donor coordination and adjusts procedures. • The MAP will be the outcome of a planning process with strong participation of the public and private sector and the civil society; this will create momentum and encourage participation in the development process.
