Annual Report 2025
In 2025, international development cooperation progressed against a backdrop of rising geopolitical uncertainty and continued demands for measurable impact. Swisscontact responded by focusing on relevant, future-oriented projects that delivered lasting impact. Our skills projects helped people acquire practical skills, resulting in new jobs and income-generating activities. The strengthening of local vocational education systems was a priority as well. At the same time, entrepreneurs and small businesses gained better access to markets, services, and finance. This strengthened their resilience and unlocked revenue growth. Together, these efforts reinforced local economies and showed how well‑designed development cooperation efforts continue to create value for partner countries and Switzerland alike.
