The Minister’s first visit to the United Nations headquarters was an opportunity to meet representatives of several partner agencies of Luxembourg Cooperation, which invests 30% of the total official development assistance (ODA) budget via multilateral organizations.
Franz Fayot signed two new strategic partnership frameworks, with the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) with Preeti Sinha, the new director of the Fund, and with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), with Achim Steiner, program administrator.
The gender dimension being one of the new cross-cutting priorities of Luxembourg Cooperation, Franz Fayot also met Diene Keita, Deputy Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Anita Bhatia, Deputy Executive Director of UN Women.
The minister also had an interview with Fernando Travesi, executive director of the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), during which a new agreement was signed to strengthen research in the field of transitional justice, particularly in Tunisia and Colombia.
