Enabel ?Enabel is a Belgian variant of the English verb ‘to enable’, which means making things possible, facilitating and empowering, which is exactly what the Belgian development agency does. We enable our partners to do what is required to achieve sustainable development in their country. We help create circumstances enabling development; we support, we motivate, we encourage and we promote change; we bring partners and organisations together to put things in motion and foster change.

MissionThe mission of Enabel, the Belgian development agency, is to implement and coordinate the Belgian international development policy. This policy focuses on inclusive economic growth, human rights and in particular women’s and children’s rights, digitisation and the least developed countries.

Enabel has the exclusive competence for the execution of the Belgian governmental cooperation in the fourteen partner countries (cf. map).

In addition, the agency actively explores assignments and funding opportunities offered by third-party donors to enhance the impact of Belgium’s development policy.

Enabel can also carry out and coordinate international cooperation initiatives of Belgian public instances. Thus, Enabel becomes the interface between Belgium’s public instances and Belgian or foreign donors for international development interventions, especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Legal frameworkEnabel is a public-law company with social purposes. The Belgian State is the sole shareholder. The Minister of Development Cooperation represents the Federal State at the General Meeting of the agency.

The rights and duties of the federal State and the Belgian development agency are described in the management contract.

Enabel implements Belgium’s development policy as well as – at the request of the federal government – any public service assignment in low- and middle-income countries under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
