#ECOT2535242ADecree of 29 January 2026 approving the Staff Regulations of the French Development Agency (AFD)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decree formally approves the new internal staff regulations (Statut du personnel) for the Agence Française de Développement (AFD). It replaces the previous 1996 statute and applies to all employees whose contracts are governed by French metropolitan or overseas département labour law. The regulation introduces a new compensation structure that converts index-based salaries into fixed euro amounts, merges certain allowances into base salary, and establishes performance-based variable pay. It details specific contract types including indefinite-term mobility and project/operation contracts, updates rules on parental leave, sickness, disciplinary procedures, mobility (functional and geographic), and introduces a three-year safeguard clause guaranteeing that collective pay rises stay within 85% of French civil service general increases.
