The Malagasy development program elucidated in the chapter would demonstrate the significance of 'the local government's potential to improve the lives of its citizens, when committed to doing so'. The chief aim of a government is to ensure the growth and development of its citizens without any fail and if it is committed to do so through the various programs or policies like 'Malagasy development program', then it carries all the necessary ability to ensure the efficient development and promotion of the living standards of its citizens.
