CCEDNet Partners with the Centre de la francophonie des Amériques

May 7, 2014

CCEDNet has partnered with the Centre de la francophonie des Amériques to promote community economic development (CED) and the social and solidarity economy (SSE) to francophones in the Americas.

There are over 33 million people who either speak or have a knowledge of French in the Americas. 

The Centre de la francophonie des Amériques, whose mandate is to support francophone communities, recognizes the value and potential of CED and the SSE to support economic development in communities where French is a minority language.

The prospect of working and living in French, in particular outside of majority French-speaking regions such as Québec and some francophone Caribbean regions, is a daily challenge. 

CCEDNet will provide news, information and resources to the Centre de la francophonie des Amériques for promotion to the Centre’s contacts, and share information about the Centre’s programs and activities that support the economic vitality of francophone communities.
