Madagascar has a weak economy, putting 75% of the population in poverty. They gained full independence from France in 1960, but political turmoil hinders economic growth. Since 1975 the presidency has been a revolving door of dictatorship and corruption, interrupted by coups and military force. Despite a peaceful presidential election in 2014, the government continues to be corrupt and unorganized. The country’s condition allows for a large influx of Non-Profit organizations in an effort to boost industry, education, and economy.
