Africa-France Summit Conclusions
One of the conclusions of the Summit to which Ambassadors Nvono-Ncá and Sylla gave the most importance was the unprecedented financial support for the African continent to which France has committed. Specifically, a fund of 30 million euros will be released to support African civil society in its actions in favor of democracy.
This fund will be deployed over 3 years and will be used to promote innovative initiatives in terms of access to justice, action against corruption, transparency of institutions, action against violence against women and youth.
