Summary:

The French Co-development program introduces the idea of “supporting initiatives by young people of immigrant origin”, a policy that enables youth associations of immigrant descent and youth associations in the parents’ countries of origin to be co-financed for socio-cultural activities that are deployed on both territories.

These projects should foster citizenship and socio-economic integration in France, and contribute to development initiatives in the regions of departure.
