Revision of Lux-Development Protocol: new modalities of aid and a greater awareness of gender and environmental issues

The Protocol between the State and Lux-Development was revised and signed in November 2012 on the basis of the DAC peer review’s recommendations. This revision clarified the roles and responsibilities of the ministry and its operational agency within the context of implementing the new aid modalities particularly in terms of sectorial approaches as well as delegated and joint cooperation.

In this context, the formulation and implementation mandates that the ministry entrusts to Lux-Development were also reviewed. Greater emphasis was also placed on the cross-cutting themes of gender and environment; a data sheet on cross-cutting themes is now attached to each mandate that the State entrusts to Lux-Development.

One example is the support programme for the forestry sector in Burkina Faso, jointly developed by Luxembourg and Sweden. This programme aims to reinforce the skills of national institutions linked to natural resources through technical assistance in various fields including management, human resources, the setting up of a national strategy and the creation of a trust fund. The programme supports the management of forestry resources and has created synergies with other current initiatives in terms of sustainable natural resource management.
