This paper investigates the key elements of the audiovisual policy of the International Organization of la Francophonie (OIF). The hypothesis to be tested is that the audiovisual policy of la Francophonie presents a fundamental concept of the audiovisual. This study is exploratory in nature and considers only the last ten years of la Francophonie. The research presents a mixed methodological approach that combines quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Many items have been analyzed: frameworks for action and declarations, the structure of the organization in the audiovisual area and programs and major projects. One of the most important conclusions of this study is that audiovisual policy of the OIF is characterized by diversity, as well as by its link with culture. However, the OIF tries to ensure the presence of the French universe, ignoring the voices of the rest of the organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
