A word from the director

“We are not looking for donors. We are looking for partners who want to see what their commitment produces.”

Our training goes where no one is expected any more: into the regions, to the young people, the women and the teachers that digital progress had left aside. What we offer is not an appeal to generosity — it is a partnership in which every commitment can be read in a skill gained, a job found, a public service brought closer. Our platforms are already running, our sessions fill their rooms, and everything we claim can be checked in the field. Come and see for yourself, then let us decide together what we can build.

The Academy's regional programme

TranonAI turns training into a lasting capacity to act.

A flagship programme among the assignments that partners and funders can support.

  1. 01

    FOREG

    The way in

    A travelling regional training programme in data and AI. Four years running: it creates interest, trains young people and spots regional talent.

  2. 02

    TranonAI

    Development

    The House of Artificial Intelligence, planned across all 24 regions. Premises, connectivity, equipment and mentoring: it stops the momentum FOREG creates from fading away.

  3. 03

    IA-ANATRA

    Taking responsibility

    Support for participants and integration of the NGO's ambassadors, who feed back the real needs from the field.

  4. 04

    Sector platforms

    Useful services

    IA-ANTOKA, IA-AVOTRA and I-TOMADY turn those skills into services for public decision-making, agriculture and community health.

Portfolio of delivered work

From training to solutions: our ability to deliver is there to see.

Two platforms are well advanced. Two MVPs are looking for a partner to consolidate them. We state that distinction openly — it is part of what we offer.

Governance, public finance and transparency

IA-ANTOKA

In production

Decide on figures you can trace back to their source.

Public decision-support and accountability system. It consolidates governance and public finance data, makes it traceable back to its origin, and opens a citizen grievance channel reachable from a basic handset.

Documented capabilities

  • Citizen channel at zero cost: SMS and USSD to follow public aid and raise alerts, with no data plan
  • Local auditors and legal mediators equipped in the field, cases qualified before they go up
  • Budget oversight and aid traceability: every published figure is tied back to its source
  • Open data portal and dashboards for the Budget Directorate, the Court of Auditors and civil society

Public institutions · Court of Auditors and oversight bodies · Civil society and media · Local authorities

Education, teaching and training

IA-ANATRA

Stabilised

Train, employ, reintegrate — in the age of artificial intelligence.

National adaptive learning system, from basic education to continuing professional training. It carries learning paths, employment and reintegration, civic education, and reaches families who have no Internet access.

Documented capabilities

  • Parent channel at zero cost: absence alerts and exam calendars by SMS, bilingual quizzes over 2G
  • Relay teachers and community educators equipped with an offline application
  • Learning paths adapted to each learner, CEPE and BEPC practice
  • Teaching assistant grounded in the course material: it cites its sources and refuses to invent
  • Civic education strand: rights, duties, public services and participation

Economy: farming, livestock, fisheries, tourism

IA-AVOTRA / IA-HARY

Consolidated MVP

Market prices and the right farming decision, down to the village.

Rural economy support system: commodity prices, crop diagnosis, weather alerts and input pooling. It is built first for the isolated producer, through the channel they already own.

Documented capabilities

  • Producer channel at zero cost: vanilla, rice and clove prices, pest and weather alerts by SMS and voice
  • Extension workers and cooperative facilitators equipped offline, photos and GPS readings from the field
  • Assisted crop diagnosis, validated by an agronomist before it goes back to the producer
  • Input pooling and matching with buyers and exporters

Public health and primary care

I-TOMADY

Consolidated MVP

Medical decisions at the last mile, in thirty seconds.

Community health support system. It equips community health workers, puts triage within reach of a free call, and hands the doctor a prepared decision to validate in one click.

Documented capabilities

  • Patient channel at zero cost: emergency triage and referral by voice and USSD, with no data plan
  • Community health workers equipped offline: findings, photos, voice notes in Malagasy
  • Cases pre-qualified by the AI, sovereign validation by the chief doctor in one click
  • Epidemic surveillance, maternal and newborn health, immunisation and nutrition
  • Clinical logic aligned with World Health Organization protocols

Personal safety, property protection and environment

IA-ARO

Under construction

Protect people, property and forests — with the community, under legal authority.

Integrated protection system in three strands: people, property and environment. No response is ever triggered by the AI: only a judicial officer can qualify an alert and authorise action.

Documented capabilities

  • Village channel at zero cost: cattle theft, bush fire and flood alerts by SMS and voice
  • Vigilance committees and scouts equipped offline, geolocated reporting
  • Fire detection from satellite imagery, cyclone alerts and rescue coordination
  • Two-tier state verification: only a judicial officer can qualify an alert and authorise action
  • Tamper-proof audit log of the whole qualification chain, against false accusation and mob justice

Let's talk about what you need

Partnership, training, a project or an outsourced assignment: let's start here.

Choose how we work together
  1. 01

    We are not starting from scratch

    FOREG has run for four years across several regions, and IA-ANATRA is already under way in DIANA. Support funds an acceleration, not a start-up.

  2. 02

    Every figure traces back to its source

    Our platforms tie every published value to its origin. Data that cannot be traced is not displayed.

  3. 03

    The skills stay in the regions

    Participants become ambassadors and contributors: they test the platforms, feed back needs and keep the programme alive locally.
