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.
In 2004, the regions were created by the national assembly in law no. 2004-001. The 28 regions originally proposed had become 22.
