About OIF
“La Francophonie” is first and foremost women and men who share a common language, French. The latest report from “Observatoire de la langue française”, published in 2018, estimates their number at 300 millions speakers, spread across five continents.
sa plus haute instance est le Sommet de la Francophonie ; sa clé de voûte la Secrétaire générale de la Francophonie, poste occupé par Louise Mushikiwabo.
It is then an institutional mechanism dedicated to promote French and implement political, educational, economic and cultural cooperation within the 88 states and governments of the OIF. This system is set by “the francophonie Charter”, adopted in 1997: its highest authority is the Francophonie summit; her keystone is the Francophonie general Secretary, a position held by Louise Mushikiwabo.
The OIF implements Francophone multilateral cooperation alongside the Parliamentary Assembly of Francophonie and four operators: the “Agence universitaire de la Francophonie” (AUF), TV5MONDE, the International Association of Francophone Mayors (AIMF ) and Senghor University in Alexandria.
