Switzerland

The challenges for international development cooperation were more significant than ever in 2024. Despite armed conflicts in various regions of the world and natural disasters, Swisscontact was able to continue or launch 133 projects in 41 countries worldwide. This was made possible thanks to the many strong partnerships that Swisscontact has built over the past years. 

Philippe Schneuwly, CEO, emphasizes in the editorial video of the 2024 annual report: "Despite all the challenges, we see the current situation primarily as an opportunity to expand our partnerships with the private sector further. We have so much evidence of the effectiveness of our work: Through training, people become better-qualified workers who participate more actively in economic life and engage in entrepreneurial activities. This creates jobs and income. It even works in very fragile contexts."
