Working toward environmentally, economically and socially sustainable development

Working on a transmission tower in French Polynesia

In the Middle East and North Africa, AFD furthers economic integration with Europe, focusing on job creation and urban and rural development.

In crisis-afflicted countries, AFD development efforts help relieve sources of tension, in both the short and long term.

AFD works to: • Promote sustainable, job-creating economic growth.

• Alleviate poverty and inequalities.

• Preserve the environment and natural resources and fight climate change.

… using a regional approach tailored to development levels in each beneficiary country, from poor sub-Saharan African countries to middleincome nations in Asia and Latin America.

In the French Overseas Provinces, AFD supports

In Asia and in Latin America and the Caribbean, AFD promotes green and inclusive economic growth, especially in emerging countries.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the priority region, AFD bolsters access to basic services and promotes the rise of sustainable cities, supporting infrastructure, job-creating businesses, family farms and natural resource preservation.

growth by financing and advising local governments, bolstering the private sector, developing urban areas and housing, and strengthening regional trade.

Private equity: AFD’s subsidiary, PROPARCO manages equity stakes that provide enterprises and institutions with capital needed for long-term growth.

In addition to providing funding, AFD shares its expertise with its financing beneficiaries to ensure better project performance.

Rice cultivation in Cambodia

AFD uses tools that meet varied needs...

AFD deploys financial instruments tailored to each situation, according to the development stage and needs of each beneficiary country.

Loans: AFD’s loans primarily go to emerging and middle-income countries to finance infrastructure projects – roads, ports, airports.

To support public or private capital investments that underpin development, AFD may extend sovereign loans to central governments or statebacked entities, while offering non-sovereign loans to private companies, banks, or other organizations without government guarantees.

This expertise aims to strengthen individual skills in designing, implementing and evaluating projects. It also aims to improve organizational operations and helps to structure public policy.

Expertise sharing comes in various forms, including short-term, long-term or one-off consultations, or professional training and networking for development practitioners.

Grants and subsidies: AFD subsidizes loans for high-impact educational, health-related, and small-scale agricultural projects that generate little or no immediate profitability. The sixteen poorest African countries have first call on these subsidized loans and grants; AFD also uses grant monies to finance the work of nongovernmental organizations.

Guarantees: AFD’s credit guarantees motivate banks to lend for capital investment, job creation and pro-environment projects – in particular, to lend to small- and medium-sized enterprises. AFD guarantees improve both access to financial markets and the odds in favor of economic growth.

... and works with all types of actors to maximize impacts Partnerships allow AFD to share knowledge, stimulate innovation, increase aid effectiveness, optimize resources, maximize impacts, and better meet local challenges and needs in the field.

Education

Water adduction network in the Comoros

In sub-Saharan Africa — a priority AFD deploys its full range of financial instruregion — AFD helps improve access to essen- ments: tial services, such as healthcare, education, and drinking water. Its efforts include promoting the rise of sustainable cities that can accommodate increasing urbanization, preserving and managing natural resources, building infrastructure to end territorial, economic and human isolation, and supporting expansion of job-creating enterprises.

The Agency also supports family farms to encourage rural development and alleviate food insecurity.

Micro-mortgages

Grants, subsidized or unsubsidized sovereign and non-sovereign loans, equity participations, credit guarantees, and other tools. AFD mainly allocates grant monies to projects in 16 priority poor countries*. * Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Ghana, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Togo.

Access to primary schooling in the Democratic Republic of Congo In the Democratic Republic of Congo, AFD supports a project targeting improved primary education access, strengthened teaching quality, and modernized education administration. The project will renovate schools in three western provinces, improving the quality of buildings and facilities by directly engaging residents in new construction methods. The project includes distance training for teachers and institutional support for the Education Ministry.

Rural development Expand market gardening in Burkina Faso AFD has set up a partnership between local administrations in Brittany and Burkino Faso’s Central Region to expand market gardening and produce sale — crucial practices for ensuring food security and employment in Burkina Faso. The partnership also aims to improve food storage and preservation capacities, both essential links in the supply chain. These efforts will provide produce to the capital, bolster employment, and increase incomes for agricultural cooperatives.

Residents in Nigeria’s primary and secondary cities have trouble finding decent, affordable housing. In partnership with a French company, Lafarge, and a microfinance bank, LAPO, AFD has helped create the first-ever micromortgage lending program. The Agency gave LAPO a €5 million loan, coupled with technical assistance. One thousand households should benefit from microloans to build or renovate their homes during the lending program’s three-year term.

PROJECT EVALUATION Fifteen years of interventions to promote pastoral ranching in Chad AFD evaluated 11 pastoral water projects, implemented in three regions of Chad from 1993 to present. Among other concerns, the evaluation examined the durability of installed hydraulic infrastructure, assessing technical aspects, management means, and maintenance.

The assessment also examined the projects’ effects on the pastoral environment, as well as on education, health, animal husbandry, and national and regional policies.

Some funded projects:

Support for social housing in Morocco

In the Middle East and North Africa

Operations with NGOs Aid for Syrian refugees and their host communities Cairo, Egypt

In the Middle East and North Africa, AFD focuses on fostering social cohesion through job creation, professional training, and microfinance.

The Agency also supports sustainable rural and urban development; it improves the quality of life via expanded access to water, sanitation and energy and through better resource management, among other efforts.

Affordable housing

In this region, AFD primarily deploys loans on varying concessional terms.

AFD committed €4 million to a grant facility for NGOs working in Lebanon and Jordan, helping them assist about 1.6 million Syrian refugees and their local host populations. The NGOs aim to restore and expand basic services in support of local government actions, without discriminating between refugees and citizens.

€796 million of AFD Group funding

AFD committed €50 million in loan financing and €500,000 in grant funding to Holding Al Ommrane, a public-sector social housing and property development company. The funds will help pay for the construction of subsidized housing tailored to the needs of poor and low-income families in rural and urban areas. With a comprehensive and sustainable approach to Morocco’s territorial development, the construction programme will replace substandard housing and eradicate slums.

AFD extended a €100 million credit line to the Turkish bank, Ziraat Bankasi, to help it finance capital investments for small and medium-sized food-processing companies. This will allow the firms to upgrade their facilities to meet European environmental regulations, along with human and plant health standards.

This AFD-published book studies the rise of privatization in Arab cities, whose widespread low-income, informally-built neighborhoods are often unevenly integrated into adjacent cities. This situation contributed to the Arab Spring revolutions; the present volume offers alternatives to slum demolition and rehousing of populations elsewhere.

Some funded projects:

Countering climate disruption in Indonesia

In Asia

Urban development Building urban mass transit in India Water management project in Vietnam’s Red River Valley

In Asia, AFD seeks to lessen rapid-growth pressures, particularly in emerging countries, by curbing their environmental footprint and fostering regional convergence. In less-developed countries, the Agency promotes growth industries and regional synergy; in fragile states, it tries to attenuate tensions that cause conflicts.

AFD deploys loans – offered with varying concessional terms – as its primary tool in Asia, and also helps to supply French savoirfaire on request by beneficiary countries. AFD does not use state-allocated resources to fund its actions in emerging countries.

Climate

To ensure low-carbon urban mobility, AFD gave India a €110 million sovereign loan, subsequently re-loaned to the Bangalore Transit Authority for its subway. By offering a fast alternative to traveling by roadway, the Bangalore Metro will promote economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable growth.

Biodiversity preservation Restoring the world’s largest cattail marsh in China The Shuangtai Estuary in Liaoning Province boasts a nearly 300,000-hectare cattail marsh rich in biodiversity. Agricultural expansion, oil drilling and large-scale dry-outs have significantly degraded the estuary. AFD’s €35 million loan to China’s Finance Ministry will fund the rehabilitation of hydraulic infrastructure and the depollution of petroleum extraction sites in and around the marsh.

Improving living conditions for the poorest in Laos

From 2008 to 2010, AFD made three loans totaling $800 million to finance the Indonesian Climate Change Program. The funds will support actions to fight climate disruption, jointly designed by donors and the government.

Program funding will underwrite efforts to design a rational forest management system, preserve peat bogs, develop renewables, and mitigate the effects of climate disruption.

Energy efficiency policies in China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam Like the poorest developing countries, emerging countries understand that energy efficiency is a prerequisite for enduring economic growth.

This implies a need for energy conservation.

Among these countries, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam have designed particularly interesting policies, some several decades old. This report describes their current energy demand and energy efficiency policies.

our actions

Some funded projects:

In Latin America and the Caribbean

Healthcare and social protections More access to healthcare in Colombia Nature conservation in the Dominican Republic

In Latin America, AFD helps central and local governments and public-sector enterprises pursue green and inclusive growth. The Agency assists them in urban development, environmental conservation, climate disruption prevention, and reduction of inequalities.

In the Caribbean, AFD fosters regional cooperation and resilience by improving infrastructure, preserving natural environments, and bolstering human capital – the guarantees of sustainable development for these small island nations.

€1.17 billion

Colombia’s healthcare and social welfare system reforms, supported by AFD, aim to to improve healthcare quality, reduce geographic and financial disparities in healthcare access, and control rising costs to ensure the system’s financial sustainability. AFD financing will help promote health insurance and move Colombia from an American-style healthcare model to one inspired by the French system.

Sustainable agriculture Modernizing farming in Mexico In Mexico, AFD has co-financed a plan to modernize and stabilize agriculture, thereby decreasing its vulnerability to climate change.

In collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank, the Agency has loaned funds to update farming practices and optimize natural resource use. The loan comes with European Union co-financing that will reduce funding costs while strengthening the technical capacities of Mexican farmers, food processors and others involved in food production.

In this region, AFD primarily deploys loans – either slightly subsidized or unsubsidized – along with credit guarantees and equity participations; it also supplies French savoirfaire upon beneficiary request. Financing in emerging countries does not tap France’s foreign-aid budget.

Water and sanitation Sanitation programs in several Brazilian cities AFD authorized a €100 million loan for the Compahni Catarinese de Aguas e Saneamento (CASAN), financing wastewater collection and treatment systems in 12 cities in Santa Catarina State (southern Brazil). The project aims for environmentally sound water resource conservation and improved sanitary and living conditions. The project would also strengthen CASAN’s management of treated sludge, while reducing pipeline loss of drinking water and building predictive financial models.

Some funded projects:

Funds for renewables in Guadeloupe

Healthcare infrastructure A new hospital in French Guiana

Drinking-water plant in Polynesia

In France’s overseas provinces, AFD finances and assists projects that improve living conditions and support economic growth, following four guidelines: support for the local public sector, credit for businesses, funding for housing and urban development, and promotion of regional cooperation. Using its wide range of financial instruments, technical expertise, and knowledge creation, AFD tailors its response to its beneficiaries – local public authorities, public institutions, business enterprises, and nonprofits.

Support for the private sector

€1.5 billion

In Saint Laurent du Maroni, population growth will considerably increase the need for healthcare services, just as existing clinics and hospitals reach their capacity. AFD has given a subsidized loan for €30 million to build a new hospital. It will improve patient services and accommodations, increase the scale and range of care available in western French Guiana, and attract more healthcare professionals to the area.

Urban development and housing Urban renewal in a Nouméa suburb

In conjunction with partner banks, AFD provided €14.9 million to finance a solar park that will increase the share of renewable energy in Guadeloupe power production. The project will reduce the amount of fossil fuel used to produce electricity, lessening supply risk, price volatility, and carbon-dioxide emissions. The project will also boost economic development in the town of Petit-Canal.

CONFERENCE

France’s overseas provinces at the center of international competition In 2013, AFD organized a conference attended by nearly 300 elected officials, company executives, and experts, focusing on how the French Overseas Provinces might better participate in globalization; the provinces are situated near the world’s largest markets but – paradoxically – continue to trade primarily with France.

All of the high-rise apartments in Saint Quentin, a suburb of Nouméa, suffer from degraded housing stock and a deficit of public facilities, services, and shops. AFD made a €10 million subsidized loan to its subsidiary SIC, a property company in New Caledonia, to finance a districtwide urban renewal project. The project will demolish the high-rises and prepare the site for the construction of neighborhood facilities and 800 housing units.

AFD deploys loans to the public and private sector, refinancing to banks, and credit guarantees to private-sector companies. The Agency also acts as an agent for France’s public investment bank, Bpifrance – which finances the start-ups, innovation, capital investments, and international expansion of French small, mediumand intermediate-sized businesses – in France’s overseas departments and in Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
