2 types of formats:
AFD as expertise coordinator
• AFD is the contracting authority
• The operation has a market-based and service provision approach, and gives rise to a remuneration of the service provider
• This method makes it possible to involve our subsidiary Expertise France
AFD as donor
We finance a partnership between a French partner and a party requesting expertise with whom there is already a relationship (Memorandum of Understanding, cooperation, for example).
