1. The agriculture sector represented €0.17bn in approvals in 2021, down compared to 2020, when it totalled €0.29bn in approvals. More than half of this financing is allocated to the African continent, of which nearly a third to the G5 Sahel countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Chad), to support food security and the resilience of the regions in these fragile areas. The projects financed in Africa focus on the development of rural areas and the management of natural resources, support for value chains and consulting services for farmers, irrigation and support for public policies and regional institutions.

During a year marked by high levels of food insecurity, particularly in West Africa, the ECOWAS regional cereal storage system was strengthened. In addition, irrigation development projects (in Chad, Burkina Faso and Mauritania) are helping to strengthen food security by better covering basic needs. AFD also continued its work to promote the integrated development of rural regions. In the Sahelian strip, these projects are helping to accelerate the implementation of the Great Green Wall, for example in Niger, in relation to wood fuel issues, or in Chad.
