How about diving into the heart of political thought in Madagascar? Right here stands the IEP, the Institut d’Etudes Politiques Madagascar. It is a place where future leaders are molded. It is where ideas are born.
The IEP Madagascar opened its doors in 2010. Davida Rajaon is its president. It quickly became the first specialized political science university in Madagascar.
IEP’s goal goes beyond education. It aims to cultivate citizens. They should be committed. They should be ethical. The motto “Velona sy Vanona ho an’ny hafa” reflects this. It means “Live and be useful to others.”
IEP Madagascar offers a range of programs. These include Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degrees. Bachelor’s programs cover political science and international relations. They also cover sociology. Master’s programs offer specializations. Communication, journalism, and sustainable development are among them. The Doctoral program allows deep research. It shapes experts in political science.
But IEP Madagascar offers more than degrees. It provides professional training. These programs aim at public and private sector executives. They cover public affairs and international cooperation. They also cover communication.
IEP Madagascar believes in being open. It forges partnerships locally. It also does so nationally and internationally. The institute participates in global conferences. It welcomes students and professionals. It holds public debates on current issues.
The IEP extends its reach beyond Antananarivo. It seeks collaborations. It wants to reach beneficiaries in other provinces. Antsirabe, Fianarantsoa, and Mahajanga are among them. It also looks to the Indian Ocean region. It aims at West Africa, Europe, and Canada.
The Madagascar Institute of Political Studies is more than a university. It’s a hub. It’s a network. It contributes to Madagascar’s development. It shapes a new generation. They will be ethical leaders. They will be engaged citizens. The IEP Madagascar invests in education. It enriches Madagascar’s political culture.
