Provinces of Madagascar

Provinces Of Madagascar

Madagascar is divided into six "autonomous provinces" (faritany mizakatena):

1. Antananarivo Province
2. Antsiranana Province
3. Fianarantsoa Province
4. Mahajanga Province
5. Toamasina Province
6. Toliara Province

The provinces were dissolved as a result of the new regional subdivision and the constitutional referendum of 2007. There was a time frame of thirty months (until October 2009) for the transition. But in the new constitution, adopted in 2010, six autonomous provinces are listed again.
