 Welcome to Pact!
The overwhelming majority of the population of the capital, Antananarivo, as well as independent election observers believed the election was rigged in favor of the incumbent, Didier Ratsiraka, and staged mass demonstrations to demand a transparent process by the HCC.
Fianarantsoa’s capital on the high plateaus south of Antananarivo was the one provincial capital where the governor had not succeeded in repressing mass demonstrations in favor of Ravalomanana.
As in other provinces, the Fianarantsoa public had responded with amused disinterest to a declaration of independence from the secessionist governor, and now it held the street.

Almost cut off entirely from the rest of the Madagascar island by a dramatic mountain range, the province of Diego Suarez - or Antsiranana as it is called in the Malagasy language - overlooks one of the most breathtaking natural harbours in the world.
Diego Suarez is also one of four provinces to have recently declared its independence from the central province of Antananarivo following last month's controversial review of the December presidential election results.
And while the politicians talk in terms of severing all ties with the central province of Antananarivo, the people of the autonomous province of Diego seem to be divided over the issue of independence and further economic and political decentralisation.

Opposition candidate and Antananarivo mayor, Marc Ravalomanana, called on his supporters today to confront pro-Ratsiraka individuals who are maintaining road barricades preventing the capital from receiving essential foodstuffs, fuel, and medicines.
This economic strangulation is having a harsh impact on Antananarivo.
Right now, Ravalomanana’s control is confined to Antananarivo province, and his attempts to replace provincial governors with his appointees have been unsuccessful.

 Community-based food and nutrition programmes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Antananarivo province was selected because the programme started there in 1993, it is near the capital, and hence could have benefited from close supervision.
Implementation started in the province of Toliara, deep in the south, and Antananarivo in the centre, which had a very high rate of undernutrition (stunting stood at 55.5%).
However, Antananarivo, the central province, closer to the capital city and where the programme started together with Toliara in 1993, had the lowest reduction (8 percent), while Toamasina, which has the highest rate of undernutrition and where the programme started only towards the end of 1998, demonstrated a 21 percent reduction.
