Organisation internationale de la Francophonie provides vehicle to support Madagascar cultural centers

The Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) donated a 4x4 vehicle to the Madagascar Ministry of Communication and Culture to help manage local cultural centers.

The donation allows the ministry to coordinate and monitor 27 Centres de lecture et d’animation culturelle (CLAC). These centers provide reading, education, and cultural activities for young people across 17 communes in the country. The OIF provided the vehicle to help teams transport books and educational equipment to these locations.

The move follows a partnership signed in March between O’Gascar Fenosoa and Traian Laurentiu Hristea, the permanent representative of the OIF for the Indian Ocean. This agreement aims to restart the centers after they remained inactive for six years. The Bibliothèque nationale de Madagascar coordinates the centers and will use the new equipment to improve public access to culture.
