Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation

A cultural, scientific and technical cooperation agreement was signed on 16 December 1988. Most of France’s aid is provided to Saint Kitts and Nevis through the European Union. An Alliance Française branch operates at Basseterre and today has 110 students.

Cultural and educational cooperation operates via the Passport for French Education programme and the CARICOM FSPI IFLE project (€800,000) which helps develop three areas of cooperation: linguistic, economic and cultural. Most of the cooperation effort is focused on supporting the development of the geothermal energy sector.
