Media and education
Africa only produces a small amount of programmes for young people and local production of animations and cartoons is in its infancy. CFI, therefore, has a dual role to play in this regard as a producer/distributor, by supporting creations and offering media animated programmes for young people with series such as Moko, Children of the World or The World of Pahé ; and also that of a media cooperative agency by sending experts to television channels so as to assist in structuring this platform for young people’s production.
