This report on the State of Land Information in Madagascar assesses the land data ecosystem in the country and is the first step towards providing a baseline and diagnostic tool to inform conversations around land and data governance. It aims to complement existing initiatives to improve the accuracy and extent of land data in Madagascar and identify opportunities to improve public access to all forms of land information. As the momentum around international land monitoring initiatives increases, there is an unprecedented global demand for free, accessible, and usable land data and information. Increased digitisation of information, internet usage, and growing demand for data transparency are expanding the land information ecosystem. The African Union’s Model Access to Information Law to give effect to Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and People's Rights, supports increased access to information.

 

Land data in Madagascar is often incomplete and inaccurate. An open land data future requires strengthened support for programmes to improve the accuracy and coverage of land information. In assessing the openness of land data in Madagascar this report acknowledges the baseline challenges for improving data quality and the sustained response needed to achieve an effective open data regime.
