Expertise France is the public agency for the design and implementation of international technical cooperation projects, a member of the AFD group. The Agency operates on four priority axes :

In these areas, Expertise France provides engineering and implementation missions for capacity building projects, the mobilization of technical expertise as well as a project management function involving public expertise and knowledge.

With a turnover of 390 million euros in 2023 and more than 350 ongoing projects in 140 countries of intervention, Expertise France is the public agency of reference for French international technical cooperation.

The Operations Directorate is currently composed of seven technical departments covering all the themes of the Agency’s activities and in charge of developing and implementing the projects entrusted to it by the French public authorities, AFD, the European Union or any other donor.

In the quest for efficiency, closer to the field and its partners, the agency decentralizes the operational management of its projects in countries where it has a large portfolio of activities, sustainable and considered to be priorities for French cooperation. This decentralization is reflected in the deployment of Country Directorates (DP) and Project Support Units (USP), led by the Geographical Department in the Directorate for Operations.

Papua New Guinea is a recent cooperation country for the Agency. With its 360,000 km2 of forests (78% of the territory), Papua New Guinea is home to the third largest tropical forest in the world. As a country with a negative carbon footprint, home to 7% of the world’s biodiversity, Papua New Guinea has become a strategic cooperation country for the agency in the areas of forests, climate change and biodiversity.

Since 2025, a new country management oversees managing the activities of Expertise France in Port-Moresby whose portfolio includes 03 projects implemented or under development in the country for a business volume of nearly 54M €.

The Agency’s portfolio in Papua New Guinea is composed of  3 national projects for a total volume of 54MEUR. Expertise France has chosen to install a country management team bringing together all project teams and a project support unit to represent the agency vis-à-vis partners and support the projects implementation.
