Let’s organize Local People’s Committees together.

Local People's Committee (LCP)

So that every citizen, in every fokontany, can regain their voice and their power to act.

No one must be left behind in the re-foundation.

What is a LPC?

A Local People’s Committee (LPC) is a citizen space open to all, designed to bring information, decision-making, and participation closer to those who have always been excluded.
In a country where many Malagasy live far from infrastructure, isolated from national news, or deprived of reliable information, LPCs make it possible to reach out to communities, listen to them, inform them, and build solutions together that are rooted in the realities on the ground.

Giving the people a voice again.

When communities are given a voice again, the country regains its strength and unity.

The rebuilding of the country begins where people live , not in the offices of the capital.

of the population lives in rural areas

only have access to electricity

More than half the country remains cut off from any regular access to energy, making access to information and citizen participation difficult. [data.worldbank.org]

live below the international poverty line

Structural poverty prevents a large part of the population from participating in national life or from having their priorities heard. [data.worldbank.org]

Why are LCPs essential?

1. Give a voice back to the field

A Local People's Committee (LPC) allows residents to express their realities, share their needs, and freely debate local priorities. It's the first time that many citizens can truly participate in the life of the nation.

2. Understand the root causes of the problems

Each fokontany (local neighborhood) has its own challenges: water, roads, electricity, security, education. The LPCs analyze these situations with those who experience them daily, which allows them to propose appropriate and realistic solutions.

3. Organize the action through the LPCs

The Local Progress Committees (LPCs) bring together young people, parents, workers, teachers, farmers, and the diaspora around a common goal: to leave no one behind in the rebuilding process. They structure participation, organize regular meetings, and relay priorities to the national level.

4. Ensure transparency and accountability

A Local Progress Coordinator (LPC) observes, questions, and monitors the implementation of projects in its area. By demanding accountability and overseeing local management, communities become a positive counterweight that strengthens the honesty and effectiveness of governance.

How do LPCs work ?

A Local People’s Committee (LPC) brings together the inhabitants of the same fokontany to understand their reality , exchange ideas , and make decisions together . At each meeting, the community identifies its priority problems —access to water, roads, insecurity, corruption, infrastructure—and then analyzes their causes with those who experience them daily.

Members debate , prioritize , and propose solutions tailored to the local context . These priorities are then passed on to the district, regional, and national levels, ensuring that public decisions truly reflect the needs of the people. The CPL also plays a civic watchdog role : it monitors local projects, observes, questions, and reports abuses . Finally, it serves as a space for information and awareness-raising , particularly valuable in rural or isolated areas, so that every citizen—even those remote or forgotten—can participate in the rebuilding of the country .

Let's organize LPCs together, in your community

Creating a Local People’s Committee (LPC) is a collective effort: citizens, associations, local organizations, young people, partners, diaspora… everyone can contribute.

Whether you wish to launch a CPL in your fokontany, support another community, or have resources and skills that could strengthen the process, we are open to collaboration in both directions .

Depending on the needs on the ground, we can work together, pool our strengths, co-host meetings or benefit from the expertise of other actors already established in certain areas.

We invite associations, NGOs, collectives, institutional partners, businesses, and sponsors to join this collective effort. By combining our energies, we can create more spaces where citizens can learn, debate, propose solutions, monitor progress, and actively participate in national renewal.
The goal is not for everyone to work alone, but for us to move forward together , community by community.

What people say about us

“En tant que vidéaste amené à parcourir différents pays du continent africain, j’ai été particulièrement marqué par l’énergie et la fraîcheur politique de la Gen Z Madagasikara. Par la force de leur mobilisation, des outils numériques et de leurs symboles, ils ont réussi à attirer l’attention de l’opinion internationale — preuve que, parfois, l’esprit shonen finit toujours par trouver un écho dans le monde réel.”

"En tant que jeune Malgache vivant à l’étranger, je suis particulièrement fière et touchée par la bravoure et la candeur de la Gen Z Madagascar. Je me sens redevable de leur volonté de faire entendre leurs voix dans un monde qui, trop souvent, les ignore. À travers leurs actions, leurs prises de parole et même leurs silences, je retrouve une force collective qui me rappelle d’où je viens et qui me donne envie de me battre pour mes idéaux à mon tour."
