Presentation Abstract
Factors that cause people to seek help from alternative institutions might vary from one country to another. This paper gives an overview of the government role and the factors that affect its quality of services, and its relationship with the citizens. It also discusses advocacy organizations as alternative service providers to the citizen. In the implication section the paper discusses measures, which have to be implemented by both the state and advocacy institutions in order to improve their services, thereby making the lives of the citizens better. The paper uses the context to discuss the effects of legitimacy perceptions on Madagascar’s public institutions and HAFARI, an advocacy organization in Madagascar.
