Hello, I have been approached by French Development Agency to help update their Wikipedia article. I have prepared suggested updates based solely on verifiable and reliable sources. Since I have a financial connection to the company, I will not edit the article directly. Instead, I will share my proposed edits here on the Talk page for independent editors to review and consider if appropriate. Could editors please have a look at the 4 updates and improvements I’m suggesting? I suggest that @User:Boubloub, who was the last to contribute to the page, review this suggestion.

Start of requests

1/ Clarify and update the lead section by replacing it with the following text.

The French Development Agency (French: Agence française de développement, AFD) is a public financial institution that serves France’s interests , and complements France’s diplomatic action around the world^[1]. Active in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Indo-Pacific, the Caribbean, and France’s overseas territories, the agency finances and supports projects that improve living conditions, foster economic growth, and protect the planet.^[2] AFD funds and supports roughly 2,700 projects across 115 countries and overseas territories. Its 2,600 staff members are based in Paris, Marseille, and a network of 85 offices worldwide.

2/ Delete this table "Financing allocated by AFD Group in 2014 (EUR million)", which contains outdated data with primary sources.

3/ Delete the section "AFD departments and subsidiaries" along with its subsections and content, which are outdated and poorly sourced.

4/ At the end of the History section, add this sentence:

A new French law enacted in 2021 established the AFD Group, bringing together Proparco, Expertise France, and AFD.^[3]

End of requests

There’s still a lot that needs improvement, but you have to start somewhere! If anyone has questions on these suggested changes, I will do my best to answer them on this Talk page. Thank you.

Thanks! For the lead section I would suggest the text amended as below, with references unchanged from the AFD's suggestions. The other edits look fine.

The French Development Agency (French: Agence française de développement, AFD) is a public French financial institution that supports and complements France's diplomacy.^[1]. Active in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Indo-Pacific, the Caribbean, and France's overseas territories, AFD finances and supports projects that aim to improve living conditions, foster economic growth, and protect the planet.^[2] Its 2,600 staff members are based in Paris, Marseille, and a network of 85 offices worldwide.

Thank you very much for your quick reply! I’ll go ahead and make these changes according to your suggestions. NDrbs (talk) 13:16, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
