As the French development cooperation agency, Expertise France is very much a European agency. In 2024, for example, over half our new funding (56%) came from the European Union (EU), followed by French government ministries (26%) and the Agence Française de Développement Group (17%).

Through our sources of funding, we also coordinate multi-donor funding streams from the EU, the AFD Group, and France, via the Crisis and Support Centre, the Security and Defence Cooperation Directorate, the Team France Fund, and the network of international technical experts (ITEs).

We also act as a coordinator of funding from multiple financial partners, implementing multi-donor projects. We occasionally draw on private sector or foundation financing.
