Abstract: Madagascar remains one of the least developed countries in the world despite the natural resources it has. Foreign direct investment in the mining sector can play a crucial role in reducing poverty, but how can it be leveraged ?The objective of this article is to present the optimization of the participation of mining sector in economic development of Madagascar. To do this, bibliographic research, an analysis of regulations as well as surveys carried out with the Ambatovy company, the Ministry of Mines and National Institute of Statistics of Madagascar were carried out. The result shows that mining industry increases state revenues and direct and indirect job creation. However, mines are often installed around critical ecosystems and protected areas, despite laws prohibiting such operations thereby harming adjacent communities and creating opposition to mining. The development of natural resource exploitation constitutes a considerable development factor for Madagascar if the normative conditions are well established and clear for all stakeholders concerned.
