Implementing public policies is not enough; those directly affected must know about them. In this spirit of proximity, the Regional Directorate of Livestock (DIREL) DIANA organized an information workshop on July 17, 2026 in Antsiranana to bring the administration closer to livestock sector stakeholders. The objective was clear: raise awareness of the Ministry of Livestock's mission, strengthen ties with sector professionals, and promote a modern, efficient, and sustainable vision of livestock farming in Madagascar. The initiative mobilized several hundred participants. Livestock farmers, representatives of decentralized state services, technical and financial partners, and many young people eager to discover opportunities in this strategic sector attended. Beyond a simple institutional meeting, this workshop served as a genuine space for dialogue between the administration and those who drive the sector daily. To clarify the workings of the Regional Directorate, DIREL DIANA officials presented all the structures composing the institution. The Regional Veterinary Service (SVR), health representatives, the Border Inspection Post (PIF), the Regional Animal Feed Service, the Livestock Fund (FEL), and the anti-corruption unit each presented their missions. This demonstrated that behind each service lie support, control, and assistance mechanisms available to livestock farmers. For the regional director of livestock in DIANA, this approach goes far beyond a simple information campaign. It is part of a strategy for sustainable transformation of livestock sectors. The ambition is to strengthen the entire value chain, from animal health and livestock feed to product marketing, including the creation of model farms and improved governance through closer collaboration with livestock organizations. One of the most anticipated announcements concerns the future establishment of a veterinary diagnostic laboratory in the DIANA region. This infrastructure will enable on-site analysis of animal diseases, avoiding lengthy procedures for sending samples to other regions. Beyond time savings, this new facility will strengthen disease surveillance capacity and provide faster response to threats facing livestock. Throughout the presentations, one message resonated repeatedly: for many rural households, livestock farming is far more than an economic activity. It represents heritage, a store of value, sometimes even a true family "bank" to handle emergencies. Preserving this capital necessarily requires better disease prevention, appropriate feed, and adoption of more modern farming practices. In closing the workshop, DIREL DIANA officials reaffirmed their commitment to accessible administration responsive to livestock farmers' needs. They recalled that the directorate's doors remain open to support project developers, provide technical advice, and foster development of various sectors. Through this initiative, the Regional Directorate of Livestock in DIANA confirms its determination to make livestock farming a genuine engine of local economic development. An ambition captured in a motto reflecting the ministry's vision: "Modern livestock farming, a source of sustainable income for farmers and guarantor of the nation's food security."
