Our world is increasingly fragmented and faces unprecedented social and environmental challenges. Now more than ever is the time to build bridges between countries and to work together in a fair and just manner.

As part of the Agence Française de Développement Group (AFD Group), Expertise France is the French interministerial agency in international cooperation and development. We specialise in technical cooperation, working to strengthen public policy in our partner countries on a local, national, regional and international level.

Expertise France is the second largest international cooperation agency in Europe. We develop and implement a range of innovative technical cooperation projects in nearly 150 countries. Our goal is to promote fair, lasting development in the countries we collaborate with.
