Economic and Social Research

 

The mission

The Economic and Social Research Unit conducts a series of research programmes in AFD’s four main areas of knowledge production: development financing and aid effectiveness, growth strategies, sustainable development and human capital.

These programmes are designed and carried out in close conjunction with the academic world (in both the North and the South) and with AFD’s operational departments. Their outputs take the form of research papers and reports, the organisation of seminars and conferences, and partnerships with networks of academics and of development operators.

The programmes analyse the economic, financial, political and social dynamics of both foreign countries and the French overseas departments and territories. They provide more accurate knowledge of the geographical areas where AFD operates in order to inform the national and international debate and help improve the quality of AFD-financed projects.
