Valentina Maggiulli
Program manager for India

Eliane Steiner
Junior Programme Manager for Spanish speaking countries
"The fight against hunger starts with sustainable agriculture and gender equality, two of SWISSAID's main themes. In my work, I contribute daily to these struggles by collaborating with a dynamic and committed team, both in the field and at headquarters. This collaboration guarantees the smooth running of the projects."
Cindy Solliard
Junior Programme Manager for French speaking countries
"Working at SWISSAID is an opportunity to combine personal interests with concrete and global implementation in strengthening the support of people in resilient agriculture. CROPS4HD allows me to be directly involved in this process of sharing knowledge and learning."
Nathalie Tailly
Intern for CROPS4HD
"In order for the next generation to inhabit a world that is sustainable and secure, we urgently need to make changes towards more justice, climate and environmental protection. It motivates me that my work at SWISSAID means I can contribute to this, both here in Switzerland and in the partner countries."
Nicole Stolz
Head of Development Cooperation Department
"People want to live self-determined lives in sustainable communities and in security. What some take for granted remains a dream for many. With my work at SWISSAID, I can contribute to making this dream a reality."
Peter Aeberhard
Programme Manager for Niger and Tanzania
"Equal opportunities are an essential prerequisite for the sustainable fight against poverty. SWISSAID supports women directly, but also raises awareness among men and boys. I campaign with conviction against inequalities that restrict rights – whether of women or men."
Daniele Polini
Programme Manager for Myanmar & Thematic Advisor Gender and WASH
"What always impresses me when I visit the site: women, farmers and young people in our projects look the SWISSAID team in the eyes, because they feel understood and taken seriously. They know that it is their own project and that they are responsible for its implementation."
Daniel Ott Fröhlicher
Programme Manager for Chad and Colombia
"Successful and dignified development puts the people at grassroots level at the heart of every initiative. It strengthens their self-confidence, promotes their strengths, abilities and opportunities – and supports them in claiming their rights."
Petra Engelhard
Programme Manager for Ecuador
"Whether it's a climate crisis or social inequality, the world is facing incredibly serious challenges that need to be tackled globally. I see SWISSAID's work as an important part of the solution – and I am committed to it together with over 180 employees worldwide."
Lukas Reinhard
Office 365 Support and Junior Programme Manager for English speaking countries
"In cooperation with local organisations and our partners in Switzerland, SWISSAID is laying the foundations for many disadvantaged smallholder families to be able to live a dignified and self-determined life in an intact environment. It gives me pleasure to contribute to the solution."
Martin Jovanov
Programme manager Nicaragua and strategic partnerships for Development cooperation
"My work at SWISSAID has confirmed to me that the passion, motivation and perseverance of the people involved are essential factors for the success of development projects. In Tanzania, women farmers with a very low level of education prove this every day."
Blaise Burnier
Senior Regional Advisor Africa and programm manager for Guinea-Bissau
"I am convinced that agro-ecology is the right approach to improving the living conditions of farming families. There are some goals which it takes patience, perseverance and continuous learning to achieve, as well as the belief that even difficult undertakings have a chance of success."
Sarah Mader
Thematic Advisor Agroecology
"Whether it be small farmers in Colombia who join forces to assert their rights with the local authorities or women in Chad who organise themselves to improve their living conditions together: Seeing people take their future into their own hands is my greatest motivation."
Etienne Basset
Expert for Monitoring and Evaluation
