Our Work

We unleash the potential of private initiative to foster sustainable development and shared prosperity in developing and emerging economies. 

With this objective in mind, we offer 
economically and socially disadvantaged people a chance to improve their lives on their own initiative.
What we offer
Development cooperation requires customised inclusive solutions. Swisscontact is committed to implement projects, provide advisory services, and practical hands-on training. 

We also engage in applied research.
Our expertise
Our expertise focuses on creating economic opportunities for our beneficiaries. It covers skills development, inclusive economic development, and climate change and food systems.
How we work

In line with these objectives, Swisscontact is particularly committed to four of them and implements the projects in adherence to four clearly defined working principles:
Results and Impact
To make our processes more efficient and for our own continuous improvement, Swisscontact applies systematic impact measurement. Our uniform results monitoring and measurement in various projects are integral elements of Swisscontact project management and quality assurance.
