Lux-Development is Luxembourg’s development cooperation agency for execution of roughly 90% of the bilateral aid projects financed by the Luxembourg government and for certain emergency interventions.The majority of Lux-Development’s work is undertaken for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Division of Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs and is regulated via a special convention by which the Agency is mandated by the Luxembourg government to execute its bilateral aid programme. The Agency also implements projects for other Luxembourg ministries as well as other donors (EU).

Lux-Development currently manages a portfolio exceeding 60 million Euros. Lux-Development abides by a set of core values, which serve as foundation for its development work and its day-to-day activities. The agency’s staff is committed to the following values:

* Solidarity – willingness to turn our awareness of common interest into action
* Respect – for others, their identity, culture, religion and dignity
* Integrity – honesty, incorruptibility and decency
* Effectiveness – in achieving results and the methods employed
