Deputies have unanimously adopted the law creating the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (CESC). It aims to strengthen dialogue between public authorities and the nation's vital forces. Described as a "fundamental organic law," this long-awaited body finally enters its implementation phase. In animated debate, deputies adopted yesterday at Tsimbazaza the organic law establishing the Economic, Social and Cultural Council (CESC). After fifteen years of waiting, this constitutional body, provided for in Article 105 of the 2010 Constitution, finally becomes operational and is presented as a new space for dialogue between public authorities and the nation's vital forces. The session was held in the presence of government members and youth representatives. The current configuration of the body takes into account the political and institutional context. Members' terms have been set at three years, renewable once, pending a possible constitutional revision. "CESC members will participate in this transition phase before the adoption of a new Constitution, which will then allow for a five-year mandate," explains Clarisse Manjary, deputy elected in Ivohibe and member of the commission handling the project. The CESC will bring together 111 members from different regions of the country, representing civil society organizations, unions, entrepreneurs, artisans, and young people from Gen Z and Gen Y generations, integrated notably after the demonstrations of September and October 2025. Space for Participation Beyond its institutional establishment, the CESC is primarily presented as a tool to strengthen citizen participation in public affairs management. The goal is to open public life to citizens who do not wish to engage in political parties. "We needed to create a framework allowing vital forces to contribute to the country's development without going through party politics," emphasizes deputy Hervé Hagnonona, elected in Betioky Atsimo (who brought this bill before the National Assembly), recalling the strictly consultative role of the body, without legislative power or government oversight function. From a historical perspective, Thierry Radafindranaro, deputy for Antananarivo Avaradrano, believes this establishment responds to a necessity that emerged after successive political crises. "The various crises Madagascar has experienced have shown the importance of a permanent space for dialogue between leaders and the nation's vital forces," he explained, recalling reflections from the 2009 crisis. Following the adoption of the text, parliamentarians see it as progress toward "more inclusive democracy." Henceforth, all components of society will be able, through this consultative framework, to formulate proposals and indirectly participate in national governance.
