On February 21, the Djiboutian Coalition for Cultural Diversity (DCCD) completed the process to become the newest member coalition of the IFCCD. Abdi Issa Boulaleh is President of the Coalition, which represents some 10 professional cultural organizations from Djibouti. The DCCD is the 17th coalition to be established in Africa and the 20th from a Francophonie-member country.
