This grant represents Canada's institutional support to the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF). The OIF uses these funds, along with other donors funding, to achieve its mandate. OIF's mandate is to establish and develop democracy, prevent conflicts, support the rule of law and human rights, further dialogue among cultures and civilizations, bring people closer together through mutual understanding, and strengthen solidarity through multilateral cooperation to promote the growth of their economies. Canada's support helps to: (1) promote the French language and cultural and linguistic diversity; (2) promote peace, democracy, and human rights; (3) support education, training, and research; and (4) strengthen cooperation for sustainable development and solidarity. |
