Our financing solutions

As a public development bank, AFD mobilizes all financing and expertise tools to support public, private and civil society stakeholders in the implementation of projects with high social and environmental impacts.

Our offer is part of a Group-wide approach, together with Proparco, our subsidiary dedicated to the private sector, and Expertise France, our technical cooperation agency. Together, we provide comprehensive solutions: financing, technical assistance, stakeholder engagement and networking, and the mobilization of French and European expertise.

More than a donor, AFD is a strategic partner combining proximity, sector-specific expertise and local presence through its network of field offices. Our teams work hand in hand with our partners to build solutions tailored to the challenges of each region.

AFD regularly surveys its clients to assess the quality of the relationships it builds with its partners in the field. Feedback collected in 2021 and 2024 confirms a high level of trust, fostered by the proximity of its network of agencies and the quality of dialogue. It also underscores the growing importance that the Group’s clients place on its role as a platform and as a catalyst for mobilizing other financial actors in support of their development projects.
