Cornélia ANDRIAMASY RABEMANANJARA (Miss),

Mother of a young child

Citizenship Malagasy
Date of birth May 5th, 1978

Early in her career Cornélia ANDRIAMASY was involved in different fields of activities in the
private sector including trade, communication, event oversight, and economic journalism, before
working in development. These helped her to get acquainted with some recurrent problems that
affected the private sector. It also helped develop her versatility and global knowledge about each
of the fields in which she worked.

Almost 20 years of professional experience have given her to the expertise to manage and to
coordinate a wide range of activities and projects as well as to foresee and have a global vision of
different aspects of development. Furthermore, this experience (including some unsuccessful
ones), have developed her capacities for adaptation as well as a result-based response to
problems. These qualities have helped her to operate in almost any field of activity and to be able
to manage any given crisis situation.

She is the founder of a local Association aiming to involve youth and women in a behavior change
in Madagascar. In 2016 she launches the Make It Happen Project or MIH, a Motivation mentoring
project destined to bring a new behavioral approach focused on action and construction. The aim
of this project is to shape minds in order to develop progressively behaviors more accurate to
development.

She is a writer during her spare time and she has published in 2016 a poetic collection entitled “De
vous à moi”, with some poetry based on everyday life situations that most require courage and
strength to keep going on.

Cornélia ANDRIAMASY has a versatile profile which helped her coordinate a variety of activities
and development based projects. Her experience in the development field began in 2006 when she
worked as Partnership and Communication Officer at Vakinankaratra Region, on behalf of the
Integrated Growth Poles Project (PPIC). The same year, she left the Vakinankaratra Region and
worked as a Training Technical Assistant at the PPIC Project Antananarivo until 2010. During this
mandate, she implemented professional training, capacity building programs as well as training
centers in the centers in Fort Dauphin, Nosy Be and Antsirabe. Her functions also led her to get
involved in the implementation of some institutional programs such as the System of Quality and
Accreditation for Higher Education (SAAQ), the National Training Agency (NTA) for professional
training and the Tourism Referential Trade for Catering (Référentiel des Métiers du Tourisme),
Hotel and Tourism, with the relevant ministries (Civil Service, Tourism, Employment and Social
Laws).

In 2010, while Madagascar still struggled with a long socio economical crisis, she left the PIC
Project in order to bring her experience to local development and work in a Consultancy Agency
focused on conservation through the valorization of natural resources. In 2012, she becomes

Associate Manager while coordinating the projects of the office. One of her priorities was to make
the Agency contribute to the implementation of the Access and Benefits Share (ABS) System.
Unfortunately, the Government priorities were still focused on other ways to lift Madagascar up
after several years of crisis. She conferred the ABS project to another person and tried to involve
the Consultancy Agency in institutional negotiations and dialogues concerning natural resource
valorization and enhancement of local vegetable production. She left the management of the
Agency in 2015.

Proactive, dynamic and passionate, she likes both to continue to learn in order to develop her
knowledge, and to share her achievements and experience.
She is an part time author of poetry focused on different asoects of life.

She has created an Association aiming to develop Malgasy youth and women by various means
including entrepreneurship.

She has founded the Make It Happen Project, focusing on general life skills in order to enhance the
life quality and values of Malagasy youth and women.

She has a Marketing-Management (Negotiation option) and International Trade background

obtained from the Higher Institute of Business, Trade and Management (ISCAM). This training,
added to her professional experience, has helped her to develop a wide range of competencies
such as: i) implementation and coordination of projects, ii) implementation of trainings and training
centers, iii) communication (involving public relation, document redaction, communication support,
etc.), iv) event organization, v) journalism, vi) and translation.

She speaks and reads fluently in Malagasy French and English. She has good notions of written
English and Spanish.
