Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs - Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs

Luxembourg Development Cooperation stands firmly at the service of the eradication of poverty, especially in the least developed countries. Luxembourg focuses its development cooperation on some well-defined social sectors: health, education, including vocational training and professional integration and integrated local development, as well as relevant initiatives in the field of microfinance and inclusive finance, which have been encouraged and supported since the beginning of the 1990s.

Luxembourg Development Cooperation has been actively supporting ADA’s work since its creation in 1994, through co-financing, grants and mandates. The latest mandate, signed on 15 December 2021, covers a four-year period, from 2022 to 2025. This is the fourth mandate between the Ministry and ADA since 2007.
