France/NOTE AUX COLLECTIVITÉS TERRITORIALES - Ouverture de la campagne 2026 de déclaration de l'Aide Publique au Développement des collectivités territoriales françaises (montants 2025)
The 2025 Official Development Assistance (ODA) declaration campaign for French local authorities is open on the Démarche numérique website until May 31, 2026.
Who is concerned?
- This procedure is based on article L. 1115-6 of the French General Code for Local Authorities, and concerns all local authorities and their groupings that have made payments in 2025 to ODA-eligible countries (including in the form of aid to refugees).
- This is a prerequisite for obtaining co-financing from the DCTCIV.
What must be declared?
CTFs must declare all payments made from their own funds, for :
- Their decentralized cooperation projects and other actions with ODA-eligible countries;
- Support associations or NGOs (French or foreign) for development projects;
- raise awareness of development issues, help refugees and support the reception of foreign students (from ODA-eligible countries);
- Service and follow-up expenses for these initiatives;
- contributions to funds or programs of multilateral international organizations.
How to apply?
- Visit the Démarche numérique website to fill in the required data.
- By using the practical guide attached to this note.
Why is this important?
The declaration of ODA data enables us to highlight, particularly in international forums, the efforts made by FTCs in terms of official development assistance. These results are taken into account by the OECD in its analysis reports on development cooperation, and by the DCTCIV in its annual report on local authorities' ODA.
