Abstract
This note presents the methodology and
findings of a field study on the financing needs of
Madagascar's communes-the country's lowest but
most institutionally advanced level of subnational
government. Following a first round of municipal elections
in 1995, more than 1,500 communes are now formally
responsible for maintaining basic administrative services
and social and economic infrastructure, including local
waste disposal and sanitation. In addition, communes are
responsible for identifying and coordinating local
investments and for supporting implementation of the
national Poverty Reduction Strategy at the local level.
