Description
1) About
LuxDev is the development agency of the Luxembourg government which was created in 1978 as an agency to support small to medium enterprises in Luxembourg and only became an agency for development cooperation in 1992. Their mission is to actively participate in the implementation of the development cooperation policy of the Luxembourg government, which focuses on poverty eradication and sustainable development in its social, economic and environmental aspects. LuxDev’s operational pillar, the Luxembourg bilateral cooperation has fully grasped the magnitude of these issues. It aims at strengthening their partner countries’ ownership, i.e. their ability to exercise effective control over their own policies and development strategies, ensuring effective coordination of the development support provided by all technical and financial partners. As an agency, it can therefore be seen as the essential instrument by which the country expresses its international solidarity.
