Abstract
The French government's support for economic reforms in Africa has differed in the past from the programs of the United States and the World Bank. France's interventionist past and its socialist policies of the 1980s meant resistance to forcing market solutions on African countries. By the end of the 1980s, however, most donors converged in their support for structural adjustment, including France. Some key differences do remain, especially in privatization, agricultural policy, and in attitudes toward aid conditionality. The article includes an appendix describing the main agencies of French foreign assistance.
