|Project Title=sharing creative commons project for Malagasy people
|applicants=Foko Madagascar
|contact person=Stephane RAMANANARIVO, Miora RANDRIANAIVOJAONA
|coordinator=The President of Foko Madagascar, Stephane RAMANANARIVO
|start date=2010/08/01
|end date=2013/08/01
|Affiliation=Foko Madagascar
|Mainurl=http://www.foko-madagascar.org
|Affiliated=No
|description=This project aims to start the porting process to Creative Commons in Madagascar, in order to sensitize Malagasy people to the new technology, and to inform them about the importance of balancing copyright and access to knowledge as a public policy. Our Country is a less developed one, and we want to contribute to its development with sharing with all people this new vision. Only 4% in Madagascar have access to internet, so it will be difficult even about means and infrastructures, but it is important to Malagasy to become narrow-minded, it’s time for us, and that is exactly the goal of the project, to share.

|output=1-the public discussion web
2-the platform and mailing to the legal adaptation
3-the official website of CC in Madagascar
4-An investigation and statistics paper to the usefulness of CC in Madagascar

|community=The project targets all Malagasy people especially artists’ organizations, creators, technology professionals’ organizations and all internet surfers. They will benefit by learning about alternatives to share and access to educational, creative or technological contents. They will also strength their capabilities to organize and articulate common efforts in favor of knowledge and culture sharing. Also, fakes increase in Madagascar, and CC’s philosophy will satisfy most of the people because sharing becomes legal.
|community relationship=We had prior experience with Foko Madagascar in 2007. It is a non-profit and apolitical association. Its aim is principally the citizen media and the vulgarisation of the new technology in Madagascar The process was the same, because it was difficult at the beginning. But now Foko counts one thousand members, composed with students, magistrates, advocates, financials, … , and it is a real challenge for us. Foko is today more and more well-known because of the motivation and the passion of all members. And now, we think we are able to establish the CC project successfully because it is promising and enriching. This will be a great innovation and a new vision for Madagascar, and Foko is ready to share with all Malagasy Community.
|measurement=After the project’s divulgation phase, we will sustain bilateral meetings with all creators, authors and institutions which have participated, in order to measure their degree of interest and receptivity. This will be able to be done through a systematization of interviews and investigations.
|participants=We expect to involve approximately 5 to 9 persons during this project. We are composed of the public leader, the legal group, and specialists on open source and free software. But after, we can consider reinforcing the collaboration. As it is a public affair, everyone who desire to work with us and to ameliorate this project will be welcomed. The participants' involvement will be sought and sustained through bilateral meetings, before and after the divulgation activities of the project, and the implementation of a mechanism of permanent communication
|impact=This project will extend the community of CC in the world, its affiliations. As it is a political sharing, the message is directly the narrow-mind which is a key issue for Madagascar. An expansion of creativity, education, culture and technology’s development.

|tech needs=For the development of the website, a Free-software will be used, and of course computing. Beyond that, there are media, conferences, debates, events organizations. The skills and expertise that are going to be brought to the project are research, planning, sensitization of stakeholders and formulation of projects.
|challenges=There is certainly that some public officials will show lack of interest and commitment with the topic addressed. As Madagascar is a less developed country, the mentality of the population is also less advanced. So we expect to face to most difficulties. In addition, a few proportion of the population have access to internet and high technology, and the majority of Malagasy are rural.
To overcome that, we will stress the public promotion with any means, and the collaboration of everybody is be welcome because as it is said, it is a public affair but not private, it is a culture sharing.

|sustainability=In order to continuing the efforts to deepen the knowledge about starting the porting process of CC Licenses in Madagascar, Foko Madagascar will be and will stay in relation with CC origin and enforce their directives. Also, we can apply a strategy to search for funding. This output will be done with the involvement and collaboration of the institutions interested to participate in the process.
|scalability=This gives the opportunity to implement the use of CC and the sharing in Madagascar, in encouraging creators and web surfers to employ it in their works, in order to make it more and more recognized, and to attract most people in this spirit.
|resource needs=We expect to be supported by Creative Commons with the free granting of the hosting fees so we can reduce the costs of the sensitizing in 7 regions of Madagascar. As well, we would like to be assisted technically during the process.
|communication=Our association currently communicates with its community members via e-mail and telephone, also we have a website (www.foko-madagascar.com) and soon we will implement communication through mailing lists.
|budget=Detailed Budget Project.doc
|free text=Currently we have a big political crisis in Madagascar at the moment. Establishing this project is not easy for us because administration is not stable. During our application to sponsors, the different kinds of Malagasy institution make us on hold, at the moment it is impossible for them to decide partnerships.
