| description |
Madagascar is an island nation
located in the Indian Ocean off the south-eastern coast of
Africa, and the fourth-largest island in the world. Despite
the country’s extensive economic opportunities and expansive
natural resources, real GDP per capita is one of the lowest
in the world. This situation can largely be imparted to
decades of political instability and recurring crises, which
have severely thwarted development efforts. The time is
opportune to leverage the potential of digital technology to
support a responsive government and promote a vibrant
digital economy. Digital transformation has been described
as the fourth industrial revolution, and if harnessed
strategically, it can help reduce inequalities, and promote
economic growth and high value job creation. It can also
improve access to public services and to information,
thereby strengthening government accountability and trust in
the State. Much remains to be done in Madagascar. Madagascar
has already made remarkable progress in the digital economy.
Preparation of this diagnostic involved desk research on the
areas comprising the five digital economy pillars, as well
as several in-country missions during which members of a
core research team conducted broad consultations with
counterparts, government, the private sector, and user representatives. |
