1Under Article 4 of Madagascar's Constitution, what is the status of Malagasy and French?
A.Malagasy is the national language, and Malagasy and French are official languages
B.French is the national language, and Malagasy is a regional language
C.Malagasy alone is both the national and official language
D.Malagasy, French, and English are all constitutional official languages
Explanation: Article 4 identifies Malagasy as the national language and gives both Malagasy and French official-language status. The distinction between national and official status is express in the constitutional text.
2Under Article 54 of Madagascar's Constitution, how is the Prime Minister appointed?
A.The National Assembly elects the Prime Minister by a two-thirds vote
B.The President appoints the Prime Minister presented by the majority party or group in the National Assembly
C.The Senate nominates three candidates and the High Constitutional Court selects one
D.The President appoints any eligible citizen without reference to the National Assembly
Explanation: The President of the Republic appoints the Prime Minister presented by the majority party or group in the National Assembly. The appointment is presidential, but the constitutional source of the nominee is the Assembly majority.
3What vote is required for the National Assembly to adopt a motion of censure under Article 103 of Madagascar's Constitution?
A.A simple majority of members present
B.An absolute majority of the Assembly's full membership
C.Two thirds of the Assembly's members
D.Three quarters of the combined membership of both chambers
Explanation: Article 103 requires a two-thirds majority of the members of the National Assembly to adopt a motion of censure. The unusually high threshold distinguishes adoption from the separate signature requirement for introducing the motion.
4Which set consists entirely of matters that Article 163 protects from constitutional revision?
A.The capital city's boundaries, the number of ministries, and the annual budget calendar
B.The electoral system, the number of senators, and the names of all regions
C.The official currency, ministerial portfolios, and the organization of public establishments
D.The republican form of the State, territorial integrity, separation of powers, local autonomy, and the duration and number of presidential terms
Explanation: Article 163 makes the republican form of the State, territorial integrity, separation of powers, the autonomy of decentralized territorial collectivities, and the duration and number of presidential terms unamendable. Ordinary institutional details are not included in that protected list.
5Which feature most clearly distinguishes decentralization from deconcentration in Malagasy public administration?
A.Decentralization assigns powers to territorial collectivities with legal personality and administrative and financial autonomy
B.Decentralization merely relocates central-government officials while preserving the same hierarchy
C.Deconcentration gives local state representatives their own elected assemblies and separate legal personality
D.Deconcentration transfers national sovereignty permanently to provinces
Explanation: Decentralized territorial collectivities are public-law entities distinct from the State and possess administrative and financial autonomy. Deconcentrated authorities remain parts of the State and operate within its administrative hierarchy.
6Under Law No. 2014-021, which official represents the State at the regional level?
A.The mayor
B.The Préfet
C.The president of the regional deliberative council
D.The Commissaire Général
Explanation: Law No. 2014-021 assigns the Préfet as the State representative at regional level. The law uses a distinct representative for each level: Commissaire Général for a province, Préfet for a region, and Chef de District for communes.
7A regional deliberation appears unlawful after it is transmitted to the State representative. Under Law No. 2014-021, which response best describes ordinary legality control?
A.The President of the Republic must annul it personally within eight days
B.The Préfet may rewrite it and substitute a new regional decision
C.The Préfet may refer it to the competent court within thirty days and notify the collectivity
D.The regional accountant decides its legality with no judicial involvement
Explanation: The State representative does not finally adjudicate legality. For a regional act, the Préfet may refer an unlawful or irregular act to the competent court within thirty days and must notify the territorial collectivity; a stay may also be requested where the statutory conditions are met.
8Which list gives all three decentralized territorial collectivities named by Articles 3 and 143 of Madagascar's Constitution?
A.Fokontany, districts, and regions
B.Communes, districts, and provinces
C.Provinces, prefectures, and communes
D.Communes, regions, and provinces
Explanation: The Constitution identifies communes, regions, and provinces as decentralized territorial collectivities. Districts and prefectures belong to deconcentrated territorial administration, while fokontany have a different constitutional and statutory role.
9An economy has nominal GDP of 72 trillion ariary and a GDP deflator of 120, with the base-year deflator equal to 100. What is real GDP?
A.60 trillion ariary
B.72 trillion ariary
C.86.4 trillion ariary
D.120 trillion ariary
Explanation: Real GDP equals nominal GDP divided by the deflator expressed as an index ratio: 72 ÷ 1.20 = 60 trillion ariary. This removes the effect of the price level relative to the base year.
10Government revenue is 900 billion ariary, grants are 100 billion, and expenditure is 1.15 trillion. What is the overall balance when grants are included?
A.A surplus of 150 billion ariary
B.A deficit of 150 billion ariary
C.A deficit of 250 billion ariary
D.A balanced position
Explanation: Resources including grants are 900 + 100 = 1,000 billion ariary. Subtracting expenditure of 1,150 billion gives −150 billion, so the result is a deficit of 150 billion.

Concours ENAM Direct — Administrateur Civil: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read constitutional provisions in context and cite the article only when you can state its rule accurately.
2Practice structured French composition separately; MCQs cannot train dissertation organization or written expression.
3Work public-finance calculations by naming the numerator, denominator, unit, and interpretation.
4For administrative-law cases, identify the public actor, territorial level, legal power, procedure, and remedy.
5Rehearse timed French oral presentations and questions separately from this knowledge review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ENAM direct Administrateur Civil route current?

Yes. ENAM's formation-initiale page, modified in December 2025 and checked in September 2026, continues to define direct competitive entry. No separate 2026 Administrateurs Civils opening notice was identified in the official sources reviewed, so candidates must use the opening order for their particular session when one is published.

What was the official format in the 2021 Administrateurs Civils order?

It used four mandatory French composition papers—Constitutional Law and Political Institutions, Administrative Law, General Economics, and Public Finance—plus optional English. Admission added two French oral exposés and physical tests.

What qualification does ENAM list for the direct route?

ENAM's standing page lists a second-cycle university qualification, at least Bac+4. The session order determines the exact accepted evidence and all other conditions.

What were the 2021 fee and score thresholds?

Arrêté No. 10990/2021 set a non-refundable fee of 50,000 ariary, 120/240 for written admissibility, and 150/300 for final admission, with a mark below 7/20 eliminatory. These figures should not be assumed for a later session without its order.

Does this bank reproduce the official language and format?

No. The official mandatory written papers and both knowledge-orals documented in the 2021 order were in French, with English only as an optional paper. This is an independent English MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation.
