AFD-funded Resident Technical Assistance

Since the CICID (Inter-ministerial Committee for International Co-operation and Development) meeting in 2005, sectoral capacity-building now falls under AFD’s responsibility/remit. At the same time, technical assistance has become an entirely separate intervention modality for AFD. In 2007, the Evaluation and Capitalisation Division was entrusted with the “Appraisal of AFD-funded Resident Technical Assistance”, with support from the Africa Department. This appraisal was aimed at assessing the situation of technical assistance on the ground and identifying the consolidation work needed for implementing this modality. This study drew on input from many AFD departments, as well as on the detailed analyses of three countries: Cameroon, Madagascar and Senegal.
