La Commission Internationale du Théâtre Francophone (CITF) a été créée en 1987 afin de soutenir la réalisation de projets multilatéraux de création et de circulation théâtrale. Les membres fondateurs : Canada, la France, le Québec et la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, ont depuis été rejoints par l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) et le Grand-Duché du Luxembourg. L’Institut français assure le secrétariat général de la CITF depuis 2022. La CITF a pour but de partager des projets et les expériences, de favoriser la circulation des créateurs et des œuvres dans le milieu du théâtre francophone à travers des aides financières.
