Regional cooperation

Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation with its partner countries is supplemented by a regional approach that seeks to address common issues faced by multiple countries, notably by focusing on synergies and the sharing of best practices and lessons learned.

The Sahel is a region that faces a complex and multi-faceted crisis compounded by poverty, political and economic crises, armed conflict, migratory flux, food insecurity and climate change. Clearly these types of problems can only be solved on a regional level, particularly within the framework of the African Union, ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union). Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation therefore supports some of these organisations through institutional strengthening and capacity building, enabling them to intervene effectively in their Member States.

Luxembourg supports the activities of WAEMU in the Sahel in the sectors of inclusive finance as well as information and communication technology. As part of its support for decentralisation, Luxembourg finances a peer review programme between local African governments, in partnership with UCLGA (United Cities and Local Governments of Africa). Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation supports the REDCAMIF network in the microfinance sector in Central America, and the Mekong River Commission in terms of climate change adaptation in South-East Asia.
