Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation

France’s action focuses on two areas: teaching of French and health.

The France-Guinea-Bissau Cultural Centre opened in March 2004 and is today a renowned cultural venue in Bissau, catering for the demand for French teaching to foster the Guinea-Bissau’s regional integration. French teaching is provided for several hundred people in strategic sectors (Prime Minister’s Office, Foreign, Justice and Finance Ministries, National School of Public Administration, etc.). Teaching for the general public is seeing promising growth.

France is the second-largest contributor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (about 12.5% of total contributions) and the leading contributor to its activities in Guinea-Bissau.
