European Union Ambassador Roland Kobia has called for Madagascar to improve the management of international aid, emphasizing the need for greater transparency, efficiency, and anti-corruption measures to maintain partner trust. Following a regional tour to inspect infrastructure and maritime security activities, Kobia urged local authorities to accelerate reforms.

In response to these challenges, the Malagasy government has engaged with technical and financial partners to discuss accelerating fund mobilization. Prime Minister Mamitiana Rajaonarison indicated a readiness to modify internal procedures to reduce implementation delays and improve coordination, noting that building trust is essential to managing potential funds reaching several billion dollars.
