Agence Française de Développement

A public institution at the core of France’s development-aid system, the French Development Agency (Agence Française de Développement, or AFD) has been working since 1941 to reduce poverty and promote development. AFD is a long-standing financial partner of Acting for Life in Africa and Latin America. Thanks to its support, AFD helps bring to life large-scale regional and national programmes in strategic areas for Acting for Life. These include creating training programmes and focusing on issues relating to local economic development in connection with the agropastoral sector in the Sahel region.
