AFD's commitments

  • AFD at the centre of reflection on aid effectiveness

    Aid effectiveness has become a core issue for the donor community. This notably led to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, 2001), the Monterrey Conference on Financing for Development (2002) and the Paris Declaration (2005). AFD meets these issues via the implementation of the French Action Plan for the Paris Declaration. It has set up projects bringing together its entire network abroad for the implementation of this Action Plan.
