CFI’S PARENT COMPANY, DONORS AND OTHER PARTNERS

CFI’s parent group

Since 2017, CFI has operated as part of the France Médias Monde (FMM) group, which harnesses synergies in terms of structures, resources and, above all, efforts on the ground.

Donors

CFI is funded by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE) under the umbrella of France’s official development assistance. The agency has also adopted an active policy of fundraising beyond the MEAE, at both national and European level. The European Union (EU), the French public agency Expertise France (EF) and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD ) are among its regular donors.

Other partners

CFI implements a number of projects with other partners. Partners in France include the French Institute and the Association of Francophone Universities (Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie).

At the European level, CFI regularly cooperates with its counterparts: the German agency Deutsche Welle Akademie, the Danish organisation International Media Support (IMS),  the Swiss organisation Fondation Hirondell, and the German organisation Thomson Media. The agency is also an active member of the Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD) and the European Partnership for Democracy (EPD).

Finally, the agency works with a number of partners in the South who, by virtue of their location and proximity to local realities, help to set up development projects for and by the media. To name but a few: the Arab NGO Network for Development, the Tunisian association Lab’ESS, the Lebanese Samir Kassir Foundation, the Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) network, the pan-African organisation Africtivistes, the Union nationale de l’audiovisuel libre du Faso (National Union of Free Audiovisual Press – UNALFA), the pan-African association Africa Check,  the  European Centre for Electoral Support  (ECES), the non-governmental organisation Reporters Without Borders, the international network Cartooning for Peace, the International Fund for Public Interest Media (IFPIM) and the International Organisation of La Francophonie (Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie – OIF).
