Amis de l'Institut français du Nigeria,

Le programme de ces trois mois à venir vous propose des célébrations comme la journée internationale des droits des femmes, événement incontournable de notre programmation annuelle mais aussi la Quinzaine de la Francophonie avec le concours indispensable de toutes les ambassades concernées.

Ensemble, nous souhaitons vous faire partager notre enthousiasme et vous permettre d'être curieux en découvrant l'actualité de la coopération franco-nigériane et un panorama de nos diverses activités.

C'est aussi l'occasion de se souvenir des belles choses qui ont clôturé l'année 2014 avec une Fête de la Musique repoussée, en raison des fortes pluies, de juin à décembre pour votre plus grand plaisir !

Oui, il y en aura pour tous les goûts ! Venez nombreux et laissez-vous surprendre. L'équipe de l'Institut français du Nigeria vous attend !

Patrick PEREZ, Directeur

En décembre prochain, la France aura l'honneur d'accueillir et de présider une grande conférence sur les changements climatiques : la COP 21 appelée aussI « Paris 2015 ».

Next December, France will have the honor to welcome and to chair a major conference on the climate change: The COP 21, also called “Paris 2015”.

La Convention cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques, adoptée en 1992 à Rio de Janeiro, a été ratifiée par 196 pays en 1994. Ce sont les « parties prenantes » à la Convention. La Conférence des parties (COP) se réunit chaque année lors de conférences mondiales où sont prises des décisions pour lutter contre les changements climatiques. La Conférence qui se tiendra à Paris sera la 21ème, d'où le nom de « COP 21 ».C'est une échéance cruciale, puisqu'elle doit aboutir à un nouvel accord international applicable à tous les pays, dans l'objectif de maintenir le réchauffement mondial en deçà de 2°C. La France va donc jouer un rôle de premier ordre sur le plan international, pour rapprocher les points de vue et faciliter la recherche d'un consensus des Nations unies, et aussi au sein de l'Union européenne, qui occupe une place importante dans les négociations sur le climat.L'Ambassade de France au Nigeria et l'Institut français du Nigeria sont mobilisés sur cette problématique universelle et proposeront des activités en lien avec la préservation de l'environnement durant l'année 2015.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, adopted in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, was ratified by 196 countries in 1994. They are the “parties” of the Convention. The Conference of the parties (COP) has a meeting every year during international conferences where decisions are taken to fight against climate change. The Conference organized in Paris will be the 21st, hence its name “COP 21”.It's a crucial stage, because we expect a new international agreement applicable to all the countries, with the aim to maintain the global warming below 2°C. Consequently, France will have a role of importance on the international stage to bring closer the points of view and to facilitate the UN consensus, like in the European Union which has an important role for the negotiations on the climate.The Embassy of France in Nigeria and the French Institute of Nigeria are working on this universal theme and they will offer some activities regarding the protection of the environment during 2015.

A l’Ambassade de France au Nigeria:LE FSD - LE FONDS SOCIAL DE DEVELOPPEMENT

Le Fonds social de développement (FSD) est un programme du ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Développement international français qui est mis en œuvre par l'ambassade de France au Nigéria afin de soutenir des projets de développement et de renforcement des capacités au niveau local. Cet instrument est exclusivement dédié au ONG nigérianes.Sa philosophie est de sélectionner et de subventionner un ensemble de projets performants à petite échelle dans le but de contribuer au développement des communautés locales. Les projets choisis s'étendent généralement sur une période de 12 mois et bénéficient du soutien financier et technique de l'ambassade de France. Ce programme a pour but de poser les fondations d'ONG nigérianes solides, efficaces et autonomes.Le FSD a commencé au Nigeria en 2000 et la dernière édition de ce programme a permis de financer 24 projets dans le pays. Le FSD 2013-2015 fournit financement et assistance technique à 9 partenaires locaux dans 10 Etats de la Fédération. L'enveloppe actuelle du FSD est dédiée au soutien d'initiatives locales dans le domaine de l'eau, hygiène et assainissement, des droits de l'Homme et des activités génératrices de revenus telles que la plantation de manioc et la pisciculture.

BEYOND ALL ODDSIn all spheres of existence, humanity is faced with challenges which severely test the resilience of the human spirit. In confronting these existential issues, man has relied on his ingenuity, resourcefulness, innovative and improvisational abilities, as survivalist modes. For the artist, these attributes can be creatively applied, using the different channels of artistic media, to address issues, as well as experiences that highlight the resilience of the human spirit to adapt to changes; move beyond all odds, and meaningfully appraise the past, positively engage the present and lay a better foundation for tomorrow.

All artists not more than 35 years of age as at October 24th 2015, residing and studying/working in Nigeria for at least 5 years are eligible to participate.

for submission of entries: June 30, 2015.
