Sports & Development - Activity report 2024

A powerful unifier and vector of inclusion, sport is referenced in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: it contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of education, health, inclusion, and social cohesion. In 2024 – an Olympic year – this momentum gathered pace, raising the profile of sport and its ambitions on the international stage.

In February 2019, AFD Group adopted a “Sport and Development” strategy as part of its “100% Social Link” commitment. It has thus made sports an important field of activity in support of youth, the reduction of inequalities and social cohesion.

In 2024, it committed €35 million, with two notable developments: an extended geographical reach, with its first operations outside Africa, and a Sport for Development mandate fully integrated into all AFD Group’s subsidiaries.
