Francophonie

CIPINA gives a large place to the Francophonie in its action in a general manner, not only because it was founded by Francophones, but also because the values defended by the great Francophone house are also those of CIPINA . Indeed, among the themes on which CIPINA focuses its efforts, several of them are defended by the Francophonie. We can cite, for example:

The development and promotion of the French language in the service of cultural and linguistic diversity
The promotion of Good Governance, Peace, Democracy and Human Rights
Capacity building through a policy of support for education, training, higher education and research
The development of cooperation in the service of sustainable development and international solidarity
The perpetual commitment to respecting human rights, the rooting of democracy and the consolidation of peace, through early warning, conflict prevention, support for crisis exit and transition processes.

At the initiative of CIPINA , several projects are being set up to highlight the place of African women and young generations of Africans in decision-making processes, participatory democracy and planning the development of the continent. Through its projects (cultural, artistic, sporting, economic, combating discrimination, strengthening democratic institutions), CIPINA offers Africans and all those interested in the development of Africa a platform for exchange, reflection, dialogue and proposals of ideas around themes that contribute to showcasing Africa. The transfer of know-how, the strengthening of French-speaking expertise and the development of concrete solidarity between its members are thus priorities that CIPINA seeks to put forward.

By participating in major international conferences and establishing lasting working relationships with development agencies and multilateral donors, CIPINA also promotes the activities of its members and contributes to their recognition on the international scene.
In order to contribute to the promotion of sport as a vector of good health in Africa , CIPINA will work to inform and sensitize Africans on the practice of physical exercise . In the field of sport, Africa has brilliant ambassadors throughout the world, in several disciplines. CIPINA will rely on them for its awareness campaigns aimed at both Africans and their governments.
