Program:

Projects and Development Activities Resulting from Summits of La Francophonie

Program Purpose:

The purpose of the class contribution to projects and development activities resulting from Summits of La Francophonie is to fulfill Canadian commitments related to follow-up actions to the Summits.
This contribution is an instrument for action and political presence that should make it possible to :
a) fund OIF programming, the main vehicle for Francophone multilateral cooperation, approved by the heads of state and government at the Summits and other poerating agencies: the University Agency of La Francophonie (AUF), the International Committee of the Games of La Francophonie (CIJF) and TV5 Africa;
b) provide concrete affirmation of Canada’s support for La Francophonie. Canada’s participation in the international Francophonie reflects the importance it attaches to Canada’s linguistic duality, cultural diversity and values of solidarity;
c) support La Francophonie’s key missions, which are reflected in the OIF’s priority themes;
e) encourage actions benefiting women and youth, two groups that remain central to the concerns of La Francophonie;
f) promote Canadian expertise and experience throughout the Francophone world;
g) foster participation by New Brunswick, which has participating government status within the OIF, in the bodies of Francophone institutions and in Francophone multilateral cooperation.
