The NGO Lalana will implement the project "Support for the Local Management of Communal Road Networks through the Establishment of Operational Road Maintenance Structures (RMS)," funded by Fanainga+, over a period of 18 months (December 2024 - June 2026), in 7 communes from the Vakinankaratra and Matsiatra Ambony regions.

In practice, the implementation of the Communal Road Policy (CRP) consists of two main phases: the first involves the establishment of the road policy itself, and the second focuses on the creation and operationalization of the Road Maintenance Structures (RMS).

The communal road policy will result from local consultations among all stakeholders, while road maintenance will be carried out by the RMS, which will be trained and supervised to ensure their effectiveness.

The objective is to empower local leaders, the RMS, and citizens (road users and project beneficiaries) to take responsibility for their road networks.

This is why the team has chosen to name this initiative "Lalanay", which means "Our Roads".

"On the road to development," as stated in the NGO Lalana's slogan.
