For the second year, Proparco is publishing its sustainable development report, which presents in particular our 2020-2022 strategy, our methods and the impacts of our projects in 2019.   The projects signed and accounted for in 2019 will notably contribute to create and/or maintain 1.62 million jobs worldwide over the next five years, or avoid 3.05 million tons of CO2 equivalent each year.

AFD is the leading actor in France’s development policy. We commit to projects that genuinely improve the everyday lives of people, both in developing and emerging countries and in the French overseas territories. We operate in a number of sectors— energy, health, biodiversity, water, digital technologies, training—to assist with the transition towards a safer, more equitable and more sustainable world: a world in common. Our action is fully in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

With pragmatism and determination, AFD teams are currently working on more than 2,500 development projects across the world - supplying water to parched land and people in Jordan and electricity to the most remote villages in guatemala; helping farmers preserve their land in Peru; funding research to counter epidemics in southeast Asia; fighting illegal fishing in Indonesia; promoting the dignity of the elderly in Martinique. The 12 stories presented here showcase these projects and others.
