About AFD

The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) is France’s inclusive public development bank. We commit financing and technical assistance to projects that genuinely improve everyday life, both in developing and emerging countries and in the French overseas provinces.

In keeping with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, AFD works in many sectors — energy, healthcare, biodiversity, water, digital technology, professional training, among others — to assist with transitions towards a safer, more equitable, and more sustainable world : a world in common.

Through a network of 85 field offices, we currently finance,monitor, and assist more than 2,500 development projects in 108 countries.

AFD Group has a mission to help construct a world in common, a world that preserves and protects five important “common goods”: people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. As an accelerator and facilitator, publicly-funded development finance proves essential for the collective preservation of common goods. When focused on mutual interests, it also creates ties between France and its Southern partners.
