A two-day training on the Fight Against Corruption (FAC) was not enough for the mayors of the 29 communes in the Boeny region. The training was  held  on 23–24 March 2026 in the city of Mahajanga.

The training aimed to improve transparency, promote good governance and the rule of law, and strengthen anti-corruption efforts within each commune. It is expected to contribute to better administrative and financial management of these local authorities.
