1. Can you quickly introduce SIF?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/strong>The SIF<\/a> is a Malagasy national platform established in 2003 working in the field of land. It is an organization of civil society that aims to protect the rights of Malagasy farmers by challenging the authorities on anomalies detected in Malagasy campaigns.<\/p>\n

It now has 27 members including different types of farmers’ organizations as Fifata<\/a>, the network Soa, NGOs or private companies working in the field of land.<\/p>\n

It also aims to make proposals for land laws. In 2005, several land laws should have been implemented but few were eventually to implementing decree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0What are the means of action of the SIF and its mode of operation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of governance, the SIF\u00a0 has an Executive Committee (Comex), the equivalent of a board of directors, and an office consisting of 7 members who meet every two months, despite the travel difficulties elected localized in different regions. As a representative of Vombo – peasant organization in the region Bongolava – I was elected President in 2010 for two years and re-elected in 2012 for a second and final term.<\/p>\n

FIS also has a technical team including a coordinator for legal training, two lawyers who receive the complaints of farmers, an economist who analyzes the field surveys, a communications officer, an agronomist who puts consistent activities on land and food security issues, and a computer.<\/p>\n

In addition to the contributions of its members, FIS also has partners like the CCFD \u2013 Terre Solidaire<\/a> (depuis 2009) or the international platform ILC (International Land Coordination<\/a>), and until there is little, Saha program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, a previous Deputy Prime Minister had decided to close the land offices (created at the 2005 land reform, which decentralized land service). The SIF\u00a0 has reacted strongly to the announcement of the news.<\/p>\n

We may also mention some particularly emblematic situations of our work on the land in Madagascar:<\/p>\n
