AFD's projects in China
AFD was originally authorised to work in China in 2003, with a mandate that limited their work to the Yunnan province, in the Greater Mekong Sub region. The first two AFD projects, co-financed with the Asian Development Bank, were part of this initial work (West Yunnan Roads and Dali-Lijiang Railway line construction). From 2004 onwards, AFD projects have fallen within the scope of the conservation of global public goods, aimed mainly at improving energy efficiency with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in seven provinces in south-west China.
