Question 25294 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr Jean François Mbaye questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs on the allocation of the Solidarity Fund for Development (FSD) to finance the French Development Agency (AFD). The creation of the FSD initially aimed to finance multilateral health aid, then it was gradually extended to issues related to climate and the environment. However, for a short period, funding innovative technologies, and more particularly the financial transactions tax (TTF), made it possible to finance the AFD, until the elimination in 2018 - as part of the finance bill for 2019 - of the share of the TFF allocated to the Agency, i.e. 270 million euros. This measure was part of a desire to refocus innovative financing on its initial mission, namely financing multilateral aid and public goods. worldwide. However, the finance bill for 2020 provides that 185 million euros - out of 738 million - from the FSD will be devoted to AFD projects. He therefore wishes to benefit from clarifications on this substantial allocation to the AFD, which seems to contradict the desire to refocus the FSD on multilateral aid, which was the subject of important announcements from the executive with regard to the French contribution. the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Green Fund.
