Regions of Madagascar Madagascar is divided into 23 regions ( faritra ). These formerly second-tier administrative divisions became first-level administrative divisions when the former six provinces were dissolved on 4 October 2009.
With Didier Ratsiraka back in power, the constitution was changed in 1998, to include and specifically mention six autonomous provinces, divided into undefined regions and communes. The autonomous provinces, having the same names and territories as the already existing provinces, were created in 2000.
The same provinces continued to exist after the independence in 1960. The new constitution of 1992 stated that the country should be divided into decentralised territorial entities, without going into detail. By law of 1994, three entity levels were defined: regions, departments and communes. The provinces were not mentioned in the law.
Currently for Madagascar, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 6 provinces. The provinces were scheduled to be abolished in 2009, and the country would be divided into 22 regions. Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is MG, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Madagascar. The second part is a letter.
