Weak economic growth is likely to continue to put pressure on fiscal revenues in 2017. Current public spending, in particular on wages (about half of total budget expenditure) is expected to remain high. Furthermore, the government is likely to increase its investment spending. Moreover, transfers to state-owned enterprises, in particular the national water and electricity operator (JIRAMA), could add further pressure to the 2017 budget, despite the government's commitment to reduce these. (..) Finally, performance in term of governance remains weak according to the World Bank's indicators, especially as regards control of corruption (ranked 159th out of 204 countries) and government effectiveness (191st).

A $6 million allocation will focus on the needs of 850,000 food insecure people in the IPC emergency and crisis phase in the Great South region of Madagascar. Assistance will be provided through food distributions, fostering access to health services, protection services and support of treatment of moderate and severe acute malnutrition.

Dans Horticulturae
A focus group on 33 small farmers considered as RMEs was conducted taking into account their individual characteristics. A typology and value chain analysis resulted in their classification and in comprehension of their empowerment in management. The results indicated that there were 3 types of entrepreneurs or promoters: the experienced traditional (36%), the educated young (33%), and the professional young (31%). Ishikawa diagrams highlight the problems related to entrepreneurial development in funding and information systems. Our conclusions insist on the necessity of improving communications strategies among microentrepreneurs, guidance for entering the market, and professionalizing the horticultural trade, while emphasizing the importance of cooperation between producers.
