Governance
Governance based on the principles of transparency, accountability, and civic participation helps maintain peace and create a social climate favorable to development.
AFD supports reforms aimed at making public management more effective and promoting mature democratic processes and legal systems in partner countries. To the same end, it helps governments make use of diaspora-generated resources.

countries benefiting from our governance activity
Fair, inclusive, effective governance creates a social and political climate that favors development. That is why, in addition to supporting public policy in its partner countries, AFD includes a “governance” component in most of its projects. Whether the focus is healthcare, energy, transportation or education, this support for sector-specific governance results in effective, long-lasting projects by building capacity among stakeholders.
