and Gynaecological Violence which led to the selection of projects in Senegal (consortium of NGOs led by Equipop) and in Guinea (consortium of NGOs led by AMREF). In partnership with the French Red Cross, AFD also supports the Panzi general hospital and the Panzi Foundation, created by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr ɸ Mugwege, to fight against sexual violence and reduce gender inequalities in the access to healthcare in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ongoing attention is devoted to integrating gender equality issues, including as regards new AFD themes, as illustrated by the financing granted in the Democratic Republic of Congo to improve the epidemiological surveillance system, through the reinforcement of laboratories in South Kivu, while promoting the fight against gender inequalities.

The productive sector accounted for 21% of commitments this year (€1.78bn), up sharply compared to 2020, when it represented 13% of approvals. However, this increase should be put into perspective over several years: this sector already represented 17% of approvals in 2019.
