Swisscontact’s key objective is to strengthen the private sector, improve business conditions and create a dynamic labour market that offers job and business opportunities to all. The focus is on the unemployed youth, women, and minorities. We currently work in two sectors: 

In the Food and Natural Ingredients sector, including fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, and medicinal and aromatic plants, we improve the range and diversification of products; improve competitiveness of market actors; develop marketing and certification services, improve promotion and sales in local segments, and boost export.  

Our work in Tourism aims to directly contribute to increased numbers of tourists, who spend more and stay longer thus leading to more income and employment, development of new products, improved and more sustainable touristic attractions, and more international promotion.  

Swisscontact’s work in these sectors is an essential part of Switzerland’s development strategy in the country. 

In addition, Swisscontact trains coaches, enabling them to guide young people into the world of work.
