France's official development assistance (ODA) clearly has an important economic purpose, namely ensuring foreign markets for French companies --- a tendency exacerbated under the `economic diplomacy' promoted by Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, appointed in 2012. It also has a security component that has grown over the years and aid oscillates between the two. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the use of French ODA for security purposes.
