Strengthening land security

The Ministry of Decentralization and Territorial Planning (MDAT) is committed to improving land management across the entire territory.

A meeting was recently held between representatives of the PROPFR project and the Directorate of Topographical Services. During the meeting, participants discussed expanding topographical and land activities in the Haute Matsiatra region, following the success of the program in the Boeny and Diana regions.

Several strategic initiatives were discussed, particularly the implementation of a Local Land Use Plan (PLOF). Another important topic was the establishment of the Stratified Systematic Parcel Inventory (IPSS), a crucial tool for ensuring the reliability of land data.

The Massive Land Certification Operation (OCFM) and the Coordinated Land Ownership Operation (ODOC) play an essential role in protecting the rights of occupants while preserving state lands. Soon, Haute Matsiatra will have an advanced digital mapping tool to improve land management, facilitate territorial planning, and optimize municipal taxation. These measures aim to strengthen land security, prevent property disputes, and promote sustainable development in the country.
