The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a quartet of Tunisian civil society organizations, including two funded by AFD as part of its Support Programme for Professional Training and Integration.

AFD signed an agreement with the African Development Bank to increase joint funding for projects in sub-Saharan and North Africa.

The first universal climate agreement was adopted during the COP 21 Paris Climate Conference. AFD had helped 26 African countries design and draft their contributions to the agreement.

In order to raise awareness about the stakes surrounding climate change and development, AFD funded “Born Somewhere”, an interactive exhibition that invited viewers in Paris to see what it is like to live on another continent.

As a public financial institution, AFD has implemented French development policy for 75 years. In recent years, globalization has diminished extreme poverty while increasing inequalities and creating new tensions. Developing and developed countries now share the same economic, social and environmental challenges. To confront these challenges, AFD promotes new economic-growth and development models that have proven more resilient, less polluting, and better able to meet global aspirations for prosperity and equality. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, AFD’s actions aim to: • Transform economic growth into social progress for all • Place environmental concerns at the heart of growth models • Develop rural and urban areas in environmentally and socially sound ways AFD can draw upon the expertise and the commitment of its 1837 employees and agents around the world. Through them, the Agency finances and assists public and private development actions, both in the French Overseas Provinces and in more than 90 developing and emerging countries. The Agency also helps shape public policies that, in turn, define future development paths.

Partnerships and innovation remain central to AFD’s work, which revolves around: • Financing projects and programmes • Sharing expertise and savoir-faire • Creating knowledge and participating in international debate
