The difference SWISSAID makes

News

We leave shallow topics to others. Our business is articles on global problems whose urgency is often drowned out by everyday noise.

Whether at the development policy level in Switzerland or as part of our projects in the countries we support: with our campaigns and reports on agroecology, gender equality and trade in raw materials, we try to initiate sustainable change. Here you will find current articles, press releases and the latest issues of our magazine – for donors, supporters and all those who would like to learn more about our work.
