We create opportunities

2022 was marked by immense challenges, such as the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and high inflation. The negative developments over this past year have weighed on international development cooperation, and this at a time when we are still having to deal with the consequences of the pandemic. Thanks to considerable flexibility and collaboration with our partners in the public and private sector, Swisscontact was able to continue its projects even under these difficult conditions.

Our development programme is the centrepiece of Swisscontact. It encompasses about 30 projects in over 20 countries. In the development programme we test new ideas and further develop existing innovations that have been proven effective over time.  We link Swiss and international actors from the public and private sector as well as academia. In this way the programme supports cross-sectoral approaches and cooperation.
