CPM

The mission of La Coalition Paysanne de Madagascar (CPM) is to raise awareness amongst farmers so that they may gather to promote agriculture, fisheries and crafting. CPM works as a spokesperson for rural societies and defends their interests in social dialogue. Overall, CPM aims to be a center of innovation, an efficient and dynamic space for development. 

CPM is a platform of farmers’ organizations that groups together some 300 grass-roots associations/organizations from different parts of the country so as to promote knowledge sharing between farmers and other stakeholders in rural development.

The organization’s objectives include supporting organizations of CPM members in the mobilization of land titling, as well as members of their families and rural communities where they operate; promoting cooperative movements in rural areas, strengthening capacities for lobbying/advocacy of peasant leaders at the regional and national level; and building alliances between organizations and other civil society organizations at the inter-regional level (province) on the concept of food sovereignty.

Its constituencies include organizations of agricultural sectors (agriculture, livestock, fisheries and handicrafts).
