Provinces of Madagascar

Madagascar was once divided into six autonomous provinces (Malagasy: faritany mizakatena):

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

The provinces were dissolved following the regional subdivision and the constitutional referendum of 2007. A time frame of thirty months (until October 2009) was allowed for the transition. But in the 2010 constitution, six autonomous provinces were listed.
