AFD and India: focus on biodiversity

A partner of India since 2008, AFD works in agreement with Indian authorities to promote green and inclusive growth. It operates through soft loans to the State and public enterprises, as well as technical assistance programs.

Since 2012, AFD has been working with the State of Assam on biodiversity conservation, sustainable and participatory management of forests, creation of alternate livelihoods for
forest-dependent communities and strengthening Assam's Forest Department.
