Most of the time, when we send money as donations to developing countries, they spend it by employing Chinese, Turkish, or Russian companies, rarely French ones. However, some claim that 50% of the calls for tenders are won by French companies and that 50% of the money given for development aid is used by French companies. But there is a cosmetic effect in the way development aid is accounted for. For a French company to be counted in a project, for example, a water supply project, it is enough for a French company to have been involved in the project. For example, in a project worth two or three million euros, if a French company has invoiced, say, ten thousand euros of the total, the French Development Agency considers that the market has been filled by a French company. As you can see, it's a huge sleight of hand.
