Because the local and rural development programmes of Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation were focused on municipalities in the north and south, Luxembourg was able to continue implementing its programmes in favour of the most disadvantaged communities without interruption throughout the crisis of 2012. Consequently, the disbursements were not disrupted. Cooperation activities were carried out in Kidal
and Timbuktu for as long as possible.
