What are the main criticisms it faces and how do you respond to them? <\/span><\/b><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Everyone talks about the dismantling of USAID by President Trump, but it should not overshadow other budget cuts in international development, whether in Europe or even in France. This retreat is based on false and harmful beliefs. <\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>First, one of the beliefs is that aid does not benefit France. It would be misplaced solidarity. This is false! The French Development Agency (AFD), which manages these funds in France, primarily grants loans. It is a bank. With its interest, it makes profits, and with its profits, it pays dividends to the state. Yet, the Development Bank is accused of siphoning off public funds, while for every euro raised with French public money, it raises 11 other euros to finance its development projects. It is therefore efficient and profitable. <\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"field_pow9944d6b029db4b20\" class=\"container-fluid px-0 flexible_section block_columns\">\n <div id=\"field_pow9944d6b029db4b20_inner\" class=\"container flexible_section_inner\">\n\n   <div class=\"row flexible_section_content\">\n\n   <div class=\"mb-3 mb-sm-0 col-sm-9 colonne colonne1\">\n    <div class=\"colonne_inner  text-left\">\n<p><b><span>NGOs &#8211; which partly depend on development aid to deploy their projects &#8211; are also poorly regarded by critics of public development aid.

NGOs have an exemplary level of accountability, down to the last euro. <\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The French Development Agency is also a partner of solidarity NGOs, including those of Groupe SOS. Despite what its detractors say, solidarity is not a dirty word. We live in an interconnected world.
