Developing trade is a key lever for economic growth and poverty reduction, and in times of economic crises when protectionist tendencies find a new appeal, support to foster trade must remain high on the agenda. This booklet, illustrated with concrete examples, presents the French strategy on Aid for Trade, prepared and implemented by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Employment and AFD.

Adapting French aid to the challenges of a changing world

Given the scale of the challenges, fresh impetus needs to be given to international cooperation, in terms of objectives, coordination and innovative approaches to resources and instruments. The purpose of this brochure is to shed light on these issues by indicating the approach that will be taken by French development cooperation with regard to aid effectiveness.
