To mark the opening of the "Africa 2020" season, organized by the Institut français and partnered by France Médias Monde, France 24 is offering special programming dedicated to this event, during which more than 450 events from 54 African countries are to be unveiled across the country until July 2021. Having been involved for several months now in this event, which was initially scheduled to take place from June 1 to mid-December 2020, France 24's channels, like the group's other media outlets, will bring this pan-African, multidisciplinary project, designed around the major challenges of the 21st century, to life on the airwaves and online. In addition, RFI and France 24 will share the TV/radio spot and videos produced for the "Africa 2020" Season on their channels, websites, and social networks.

Special program "Africa 2020 Season"

To mark the launch of the "Africa 2020" Season, Angélique Kidjo is Valériane Gauthier's guest. The Beninese singer discusses her role as patron of the event, the objectives of the Season, and presents the program, which reflects the dynamic, creative, and entrepreneurial richness of Africans. For her, it is "an opportunity to present ourselves, Africans, to the rest of the world, through the talent of the young and promising generation of artists and entrepreneurs, in order to change perceptions of the continent." As a staunch defender of women's rights, the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador also says she is "delighted that African women are at the heart of the exchanges and debates during this Africa 2020 Season."
