AFD - French Development Agency
In accordance with the bilateral France-South Africa Partnership Framework Document for the period 2006-2010, the French Agency for Development (AFD) implements most of the French development cooperation.
South Africa is one of its very first beneficiaries among 65 countries in the world.
Through the AFD, France has committed nearly 1,5 billion Euros to South Africa since 1994. AFD commitments have increased tenfold over the last decade to reach 444 million Euros in 2009, making France one of the first foreign donors in South Africa.
AFD and Proparco, its subsidiary for private sector, provide financing solutions specifically geared to the needs of their South African partners. This includes loans with preferential interest rates and guarantees. Besides financing products, AFD also offers expertise and specialised technical assistance. This variety of tools has allowed AFD group to work with a large range of partners including municipalities, private and public companies, commercial and public development banks.
