 pragmatism regarding indicators (numbers and
definition)
 further methodologic issues:
 attribution,
 mobilisation of private funding,
 demonstration effects…
 Harmonise with DFIs and IFIs

Employment a special indicator
1. An essential indicator for development
– Whether Mediterranean area, Sahel, Latin America, you name it
2. A problematic indicator for the private sector
• Employment, like income, is generated by expenditure (demand),
• yet competition (key advantage of private sector ) tends to reduce
expenditure.
– So what additional employment is the private sector expected to generate?
– Is full employment (inclusive development), rather than mere employment and uncertain
additionality, not the true objective?
3. A revealing indicator, regarding ideological biases
• Private sector claims to be critical source of employment;
– yet to generate (full) employment, the private sector requires appropriate public policies.
– Thus, policy coherence for sustainable development is important.
• In reality, employment is generated by investment, both public and private.

Viewing AFD as a group,
aim is fostering investment
through:
• PROPARCO and other lines of credit
(SUNREF),
• support to local development banks,
• public policy reform.

8. 8
AFD vying to ensure sustainable development
• over and beyond measurement of « climate co-benefits »
• by aiming for entire activity to be, as it were, « 2030 Agenda compatible »
• proxy for achieving country results in sustainable development?
Seven criteria reviewed ex ante for each AFD operation (sustainable
development methodology)
1. Sustainable and resilient growth,
2. Enhanced social welfare; reduced social imbalances,
3. Gender equality,
4. Biodiversity preservation; sustainable management of natural resources,
5. Transition towards low-carbon development,
6. Resilience to climate change,
7. Sustainable project impacts and governance framework.
