==== Overseas France ====
Since 1946, AFD has had a public service mandate to provide a reference public service provision for credit and social housing. In 2014, overseas France accounted for 19% of AFD's activity, i.e. EUR 1.55bn. AFD conducts several types of action in overseas France. Its activities are based on the following areas: financing and assisting public policies, advisory services for local authorities, promoting business competitiveness and job creation, supporting regional integration and action for sustainable development.<ref>“[http://ideas4development.org/a-propos/ About us]” [archive], at ideas4development.org (consulted 22 July 2015)</ref> This involves financing and supporting projects that improve living conditions for populations and promote economic growth, while preserving the environment. Thanks to its financing, its expertise and its knowledge production, it assists the local public sector, finances companies, housing and urban development, and supports regional cooperation.

It fulfills this mandate through nine agencies throughout the overseas territories: [[French Guiana]], [[French Polynesia]], [[Guadeloupe]], [[Martinique]], [[Mayotte]], [[New Caledonia]], [[Réunion]], [[Saint Pierre and Miquelon]], [[Wallis and Futuna]].

In the overseas departments (DOM), in [[Saint Martin (island)|Saint Martin]], [[Saint Barthélemy]] and [[Saint Pierre and Miquelon]], AFD also represents the public investment bank [[:fr:Banque publique d'investissement|Bpifrance]], which finances the creation, innovation, investments and international development of French SMEs.

AFD is the reference shareholder in seven social housing companies (Simar in Martinique, Sic in New Caledonia, Sig in Guadeloupe, SIDR in Réunion, Siguy and Simko in French Guiana and Sim in Mayotte). These property companies promote, manage and build social housing.

Finally, it provides part of the staff of the note-issuing banks, [[Institut d'émission d'outre-mer|Institut d'Emission d'Outre-mer]] and Institut d'Emission des Départements d'Outre-mer.
