[top] [end]Goals/aims

Lux-Development manages most of the resources allocated by the Luxembourg government to public development aid, within a strictly bilateral framework. In addition to this main task, the state may call upon the Agency to carry out one-off operations relating to emergency aid, other tasks within the sphere of development cooperation and any other international cooperation missions. Lux-Development also manages programmes funded by other bilateral donors and by the European Commission through mechanisms such as 'indirect centralised management' or 'facilities'.

[top] [end]Countries of operation

The Agency concentrates mainly on Luxembourg development cooperation's 10 privileged partner countries, which is a list defined by the Luxembourg government primarily on the basis of the human development index (HDI) as published by the UNDP: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Cape Verde, Namibia, Laos, Vietnam, Nicaragua and El Salvador. It should be noted that six of these ten countries are in sub-Saharan Africa. Lux-Development also works with other countries receiving support from Luxembourg development cooperation: in Africa (Rwanda, Morocco and Tunisia); in the Balkans (Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania); in Asia (Mongolia) and in South America (Ecuador). It should be noted that a policy of geographical concentration will be continued with the programmed withdrawal from the Maghreb countries, Ecuador, Namibia and El Salvador.
