Frad

FRAD is an acronym that can refer to several distinct entities or concepts. There is no single universally recognized topic associated with it; the meaning depends on context.

In many French-speaking settings, FRAD serves as an initialism in the names of organizations. The letters commonly align with Federation or Fondation (F), Réseau, Ressources, or Régional (R), Association or Administration (A), and Développement, Droit, or Département (D). Consequently, FRAD appears in the titles of federations, foundations, and associations, as well as regional or national bodies involved in culture, sport, social services, or development.

In non-organizational contexts FRAD can function as a project code or technical abbreviation defined by the issuing body. In such cases the expansion is not standard and must be taken from the source document.

Because FRAD has multiple possible expansions, readers should rely on contextual clues or seek the explicit expansion at the first occurrence in a text. If a specific FRAD is intended, providing the field, region, or organization can help identify the correct meaning.
