Welcome to the Minka platform.
Launched in 2017 by the French Development Agency (AFD), Minka is an innovative financing tool dedicated to medium-long-term projects in the field of conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
Minka funds projects aimed at addressing the root causes of conflicts/crises and at reinforcing the resilience of vulnerable communities in fragile or conflict-affected environments.
This website provides further details about past and current Minka projects, the activities implemented and their impacts on the ground.
All graphs, tables and maps are available for download in image format or Excel.
This platform reflects AFD's commitment to transparency in all of its activities. Click here to access AFD’s page dedicated to Minka and here to access the AFD intranet (restricted access).
Objectives of the Minka instrument
Improve the living conditions of populations vulnerable to violent conflict
Strengthen the resilience of populations and institutions in the face of shocks
Promote social cohesion to foster lasting peace.
The instrument pays particular attention to the rights of women and children, and the needs of displaced and host populations.
How the Minka instrument works
Minka finances projects that meet the priority needs of its local partners, over a period of 3 to 5 years. These projects benefit from adapted, faster, and more flexible operating methods. Minka thus fits within the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, adopting a conflict-sensitive approach.
