Education for Citizenship and International Solidarity
Education for Citizenship and International Solidarity (ECIS) is a kind of non-conventional education that raises awareness of development issues and plays a crucial role in advancing toward the Sustainable Development Goals. ECIS promotes the commitment of all citizens to a fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable world.
Since 2009, AFD has been supporting the ECIS initiatives alongside French civil society organizations.

One of the strengths of French civil society lies in its capacity to inform, raise awareness of global challenges and universal values. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are recognized as major stakeholders in citizen mobilization, both internationally and in French regions.
By using a wide range of modes of action and tools, ECIS reaches an increasingly diverse public: young people, festival-goers, consumers and citizens of all ages.
