Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, SDC
The SDC’s work is concentrated on fragile and conflict-affected regions. It helps partner countries tackle development problems and poverty, with a focus on improving access to health and education for disadvantaged populations. The SDC also works to address climate challenges and improve prospects, especially for women and young people, through vocational skills development and income generation.
Depending on the context, the SDC focuses on one or more of its five preferred implementation approaches:
- Strong, targeted multilateralism;
- Locally-driven actions;
- Promotion of new digital technologies;
- Leveraging Swiss expertise;
- Enhanced cooperation with other actors.
