As France’s development cooperation agency, we operate in 147 countries. Our projects span a wide range of focus areas – from strengthening democratic governance and preserving biodiversity, to supporting entrepreneurship and reducing gender inequalities.

With over 400 active projects in 2025, we deployed 1,800 staff on the ground and generated €572 million in revenue in 2025 (a 28% increase on 2024). This growth means we can strengthen our local presence and deliver greater impact for the communities we support.
