A state-approved foundation in the field of Earth Sciences hyphen between North and South.

CIFEG is a state-approved foundation in the field created in 1981 shortly after the success of the International Geological Congress in Paris. His head office is in Paris and the operational center in Orleans.

CIFEG main objective is to promote exchanges, training and cooperation in the Earth Sciences field, to provide sustainable development in benefit of the South.
The foundation contributes to reduce poverty by developing actions based on valorization and dissemination of geoscientifics information. This approach aims to promote the whole earth sciences in Africa (underground resources, mineral, hydrogeologic, natural hazards and renewable energies) and to improve human skills to answer the challenges linked to the use of georesources and to deal with climate changes.
