ANRU–AFD Partnership
A framework agreement between the two agencies was signed on 14 June 2011 and renewed on 29 May 2013 for a two-year term.
It aims to :
- Respond to the need to structure the ANRU’s international activity faced with increased demand from foreign delegations;
- Make this activity more operational and limit internal mobilisation.
The objectives included in the agreement :
- Organise, structure and facilitate the international availability of the ANRU’s network of experts (internal and external), within the framework of partnerships and programmes supported by the AFD;
- Develop exchanges between the two organisations with the objective of enhancing the projects of each and developing possible innovative approaches.
