Report by the General Directorate for Economic Services of French West Africa ahead of the Brazzaville Conference (1943)
Text In 1943, in preparation for the Brazzaville Conference that is due to be held from 30 January to 8 February 1944 between the governors of the colonies at the invitation of the French Committee for National Liberation (CFLN), the General Directorate for Economic Services of French West Africa (AOF) drafts a note on the various aspects of the AOF’s future economic policy. The recommendations of the General Directorate are particularly based on the circular letter of 8 November 1941 by Félix Éboué entitled The new indigenous policy for French Equatorial Africa.
