Our mission

AFD Group works to deliver on France’s ambition to build a fairer, more united, and more sustainable future with its international partners. In a world facing climate challenges, rising inequalities, and geopolitical tensions, we invest to bring about concrete, human-centered, and responsible solutions.

Our mission: to finance and support projects in the most vulnerable countries, in middle-income countries, and in France’s Overseas Territories.

Our action is guided by a dual mandate: to combat poverty and inequality, and to preserve global public goods such as the climate, biodiversity, and global health.

We implement France’s international development and partnership policy, in line with the guidelines set by the 2021 programming Act on inclusive development and combating global inequalities, the Presidential Council for International Partnerships (CPPI) of April 5, 2025 (in French), the Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development (CICID) (in French), and the Interministerial Committee for Overseas France (CIOM) in 2023 (in French).
