Public administration

EDBM

Economic Development Board of Madagascar

National investment promotion and facilitation agency offering investor assistance and a one-stop service. It routes establishment projects and administrative enquiries; this support does not confer land ownership, a building permit or automatic approval by another responsible public authority.

Professional body

CNNM

Chambre Nationale des Notaires de Madagascar

Professional notarial chamber publishing a geographical directory and information on property instruments and mediation. It helps identify an appropriate notary and verify the contact; professional work remains with the responsible notarial office rather than the chamber itself.

Professional body

OGEM

Ordre des Géomètres Experts de Madagascar

Professional order overseeing surveyors and professional ethics. Its portal provides a geographical search route to identify a practitioner for verification before boundary work or a land study; a directory entry does not itself guarantee a particular survey or property right.

Professional body

OAM

Ordre des Architectes Malagasy

Professional order regulating architectural practice and maintaining the architects’ roll. It provides contacts and resources for checking a practitioner; local building permission and project compliance remain separate procedures requiring the responsible authority and appropriate project-specific verification.

Professional body

OIM

Ordre des Ingénieurs de Madagascar

Professional engineering order publishing its reference legislation and ethical framework. Its secretariat provides a route to check an engineer and their discipline; regional direct contacts and a current complete public register remain insufficiently established in the opened sources.

Public administration

INSTAT

Institut National de la Statistique

National statistical institution publishing census, household-survey and territorial information. Its resources help users understand population and housing conditions; each publication must be interpreted using its own reference period, definitions and geographical coverage rather than assumed to describe current property conditions.
