Anonymous corruption reports that drive real accountability
Madagascar struggles with systemic corruption that undermines governance and requires ongoing external EU intervention to support local integrity efforts
MadaGuard lets Malagasy citizens submit fully anonymous reports with encrypted evidence. Reports are tracked through a secure backend that notifies verified integrity partners and EU-backed programs without exposing the reporter. Aggregated public dashboards create transparency pressure while protecting users.
Malagasy citizens, local businesses, and public sector workers in Madagascar
Built exclusively for Madagascar's legal and cultural context with Malagasy-language flows, direct NGO/EU escalation paths, and mobile-money integration — unlike generic global whistleblower tools.
