One year after the adoption of the Mayotte Reconstruction Programming Act — committing **€4 billion over six years** — the Senate's monitoring committee published its first assessment on July 21, 2026\. The finding is unambiguous: a significant share of projects remains stalled at the study, administrative, or land registration stage. The gap between announced and actually committed funds is wide.

## A mixed scorecard

The committee reviewed the key areas covered by the law: health, education, security, housing, and territorial planning. Across each pillar, senators noted a lack of administrative data transmitted by the government, making precise tracking impossible. The report's phrasing is telling: it calls for distinguishing between « credits merely announced and those actually committed ».

Field observers are unsurprised, citing the complexity of rebuilding a territory still traumatized by Cyclone Chido in December 2024\. Land registration procedures — mandatory before any construction can begin — remain particularly congested.

## Port de Longoni: the central challenge

The most closely watched case concerns the Port of Longoni, the island's economic lifeline. The current public service delegation (DSP) will be terminated on **September 1, 2026**, replaced by a transitional public establishment (EPIC). But the Senate committee flags « several uncertainties regarding the cost, duration, and coordination » of the transition.

For Mahorais businesses, the port is vital: food imports, building materials, and equipment for reconstruction all flow through it. Any management instability immediately translates into higher prices and supply disruptions.

## Why it matters

Mayotte stands at a crossroads. The reconstruction law represents a historic modernization opportunity — but its effectiveness depends on the state's ability to translate political commitments into concrete projects. The committee's next meeting is scheduled for autumn 2026.
