The elections supposed to take place in Madagascar in 2013 will require some US$ 66 billions and not the basic US$ 71 billion. Small discount on the elections granted after a reassessment. Still, everything remains just as certain as before. Switzerland, Norway and the European Union promised some €15 million, and the United States have not yet declared anything.

The elections struggling to get financial support

Fatma Samoura, the United Nations’ spokeswoman in Madagascar, has called upon the International Community to support Madagascar’s Electoral Cycle Program (locally named PACEM). A meeting with the local national electoral commission took place on October 22nd. The way to go remains long, in spite of everyone’s high spirits. Not a single sign points towards a successful presidential election to be completed on May, 8th.
