About us

For over 45 years, LuxDev – the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency – has been working to promote sustainable development and reduce poverty across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe.

Our mission

Luxembourg’s Bilateral Development Agency

LuxDev designs and carries out bilateral cooperation projects and programmes on behalf of the Luxembourg government. Rooted in our partner countries’ own development strategies, our work aims to tackle poverty and promote sustainable development – socially, economically, and environmentally.

As a trusted advisor to the Luxembourg government, we can also take on other roles related to development cooperation, humanitarian aid, or international climate finance.

Our main donor is the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defence, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade. We also work for the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, and other Luxembourg ministries.

A partner for other donors

Beyond our core mission for Luxembourg, LuxDev also shares its know-how with other development actors. We help design and implement projects for third-party donors like the European Commission, European Union Member States, and other international development agencies.

These partnerships help boost coherence, harmonisation, and effectiveness across the development sector, aligning with Luxembourg-funded projects to create greater impact through synergy and complementarity.

Our approach

```On the ground, we support our partners through the changes they wish to make – we don’t take their place. Everything we do is about strengthening the capabilities of those we work with.

Manuel Tonnar

LuxDev's Director General


Our approach is grounded in key development principles: local ownership, alignment with national strategies, and harmonisation with other actors. This ensures our efforts are relevant, effective, and built to last – in collaboration with governments, institutions, and civil society.
