Extract

A new Joint African and Malagasy Organization—Organisation commune africaine et malgache (OCAM)—was founded on February 12, 1965, at a conference at Nouakchott, Mauritania, receiving the initial adherence of thirteen French-speaking African states and Madagascar and replacing the Union africaine et malgache de co-opération économique (UAMCE) set up in 1964. The thirteen countries represented were Cameroun, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Congo (Brazzaville), Dahomey, Gabon, the Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, Togo, and Upper Volta. Although no representative of Rwanda attended, the Rwandese government subsequently signified its adherence to the OCAM Charter drawn up at the conference.
