The Institut français and its two supervisory ministries (Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture) are working to promote equality between men and women, parity and diversity. The Institut français is also in the process of obtaining the Equality label and the Diversity label from AFNOR. Particular attention will therefore be paid by the selection committeé to gender parity in the selection of artists, creators, authors and professionals who will be selected to benefit from the Indian Ocean Mobility Fund.

In line with the National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC), the Institut français has set itself ten operational objectives to be achieved by 2025, brought together in a roadmap for the ecological transition. In agreement with its partners, the implementation of the Indianoceanic Mobility Fund is part of this eco-responsible dynamic. Applicants are encouraged to develop an eco-responsible approach to their project (choosing the least carbon-intensive transport whenever possible; pooling travel, food, etc.). ). Applicants are encouraged to report on this approach when submitting their application.
