The French Institute of Tunisia (IFT) has launched the first session of its Publication Support Programme (PAP) for 2024. The aim of the Abdelwahab Meddeb Publication Support Programme is to encourage publishing projects that are innovative in terms of content and form, particularly in the fields of contemporary literature, children's literature and/or comics, with the aim of reaching a wide audience. Particular attention will be paid to projects involving translation from French into Arabic or from Arabic into French. Priority will be given to contemporary fiction and to the discussion of ideas that promote closer ties between the French-speaking and Arabic-speaking worlds. All types of works are eligible (except textbooks, technical works, guides or practical books). The deadline for submissions is February 29, 2024. The results will be announced on March 29, 2024. The call for the second session is scheduled for June 28 2024. Over the last 30 years, these programmes have contributed to the translati on and publication of more than 15,000 titles by French-speaking authors in 75 countries.
