Website of the French Embassy in Guatemala Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation France supports the development of Belize through the work of the European Union, to which it is one of the main contributors: as a member of the ACP (African, Caribbean and Pacific) group of States, Belize has received funding from the European Development Fund since 1982. Cooperation programmes between the European Union and Belize have grown considerably and the EU, which has a Technical Support Office in Belmopan, has become the country’s leading donor, ahead of the United States and the United Kingdom. In the 2021-2024 programming of European cooperation in Belize, €17 million was dedicated to two priorities: sustainable development, notably through green growth, and regional integration. Belize is part of the Euroclima project, which was launched in early 2023 to support environmental sustainability and climate resilience in the Caribbean and is partly implemented by Expertise France. At bilateral level, the French Global Environment Facility (FFEM) is funding a project to protect the marine environment in southern Belize. Our educational and linguistic cooperation saw new momentum in 2022 thanks to the participation of a young Belizean in the language assistant programme and the translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Little Prince into Garifuna, in a project led by the French Embassy in Guatemala. There is an ongoing project to create a virtual Alliance Française branch.
