ArticlePublisher: Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1988Revue Française D'Administration Publique 46, p. 89-96Abstract: Africa has assumed geostrategic importance, making military a key element of French foreign policy. Aid is covered by accord de défense with the Ministry of Defense and/or conventions d'assistance militaire technique with the Military Cooperation Mission (MCM). The extend of the latter has doubled in the past 15 years. Aid takes three forms: (a) materiel, (b) military advisors, and (c), officer & NCO training. The MCM budget has not changed since 1978; furthermore, there is a chronic gap between the allocated budget and actual outlays, which complicates MCM capability to respond to individual African aid requests
