    Joint projects between AFD and KfW

    The two development banks can look back on a long-standing partnership: in the last ten years they jointly facilitated more than 50 projects and co-financing operations that contribute to improving the economic, social and ecological living conditions of people all over the world. To this end, the two institutions have so far invested EUR 6 billion in total.

    Joint evaluation of projects

    AFD and KfW are not only looking for solidarity when it comes to co-financing projects – the joint evaluation of projects is also part of their cooperation, as can be seen from the example of the mid-term evaluation of a reform financing project in the Jordanian water sector.
