Presence and partnership for sustainable change

Sustainability is the overriding concern of SDC activities. In cooperation with partners this requires a mutual understanding of goals, values, procedures and education.

Relations involving several countries and projects increase the demands on the partnership. The role and the responsibility of private participants are increasing, while cooperation between developing and transition countries is taking on ever-greater importance. The SDC concentrates its activities on a selection of geographical priorities. Presence and partnership ensure sustainable change as well as action which is both preventive and suited to the situation. Apart from that it makes the best use of scant resources by effectively concentrating them.
