Blogs and Web Resources

Internet is reactive and participative and allows anyone with a project to let others know about it and anyone who is interested in the project to join in the debate. AFD is building its presence on Internet, particularly on collaborative websites, in order to reach a broader public. In addition to a French language development resource center, AFD has even created its own blog platform called “Solidaires du monde” (Citizens for Global Solidarity). This provided the opportunity to launch one blog dedicated to AFD’s activities.

  • AFD’s blog

    AFD launched its own blog dedicated to its activities in September 2010. The blog provides a different way of promoting AFD’s expertise by asking experts to give their opinions on current topics and fostering exchanges between the different actors interested in North-South issues.

  • French language development resource center

    AFD has launched Monde.org, the first French language collaborative portal for information, exchanges and network building in the development sphere. It is destined for French-speaking development actors from both the North and South that are concerned either professionally or personally. There is a wide range of services on offer: you can find or share information or ideas and make contacts in the sphere of development.

  • Solidarity blog platform

    AFD launched its own blog platform at the end of 2008 called “Solidaires du monde” (Citizens for Global Solidarity). Independently of AFD, the “Solidaires du monde” blogs aim to give a voice to solidarity action from all over the world. They are much more than a digital showcase for actions, projects and often standalone research: by blogging on the platform you can open up content to comments from Internet users.
