Public enterprises
As major players in economic and social life, public enterprises contribute to the implementation of development policies. They are key partners for AFD.
Improving the performance of public enterprises is crucial to enhancing access to public goods and services. That is why we support them financially in their transformative projects and in strengthening their governance. Our technical and financial partnerships with public enterprises contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): developing infrastructure, ensuring access to essential services (water, sanitation, energy), and establishing effective and transparent institutions.
