Meeting between LuxDev and Expertise France: towards closer collaboration
Latin America and the Caribbean, El Salvador, Togo 05.06.2025 LuxDev

On 5 June 2025, Manuel TONNAR, Director General of LuxDev, and Cassilde BRENIÈRE, Deputy Director General of Expertise France, met to discuss current collaborations between the two agencies and explore new cooperation opportunities.
The meeting highlighted the sectoral and geographical synergies between the two agencies, which are conducive to increased collaboration in a Team Europe spirit.
In El Salvador, the two agencies are already working together on two training and professional integration projects – Youth employment and digitalisation, implemented by LuxDev, and LAMARR, financed by the European Union and executed by Expertise France. These projects will now be the subject of closer cooperation. A memorandum of understanding will be signed to align the vocational training activities carried out by Expertise France with the professional integration and youth employment promotion activities conducted by LuxDev.
The discussion also paved the way for new collaboration opportunities in Latin America and Togo, particularly as part of the INCLURE programme, which will include a waste management component to be formulated with Expertise France, who will then be responsible for its implementation.

During this meeting, we reached a new milestone in our common desire to strengthen the links between our two agencies and to combine our efforts, in a Team Europe dynamic, towards an ever more integrated and impactful development cooperation
emphasised Manuel TONNAR.
As a reminder, during a joint mission in November 2022, LuxDev, Expertise France, AFD and Enabel signed a declaration of intent for joint collaboration and commitment, demonstrating their desire to intensify their relations.
