                                                                                  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.

                                                                                    2.10.23 | It is a breakthrough in transparency in the gold sector: The 33 mining companies that are members of the World Gold Council (WGC) will in future disclose the identity of their partner refineries and their locations, at least once a year. SWISSAID is very pleased with this announcement. Our organization had made this recommendation, among others, in a report published in March 2023.

In October, we are taking a closer look at these in the form of events, forums, meetings and publications, and are campaigning for sustainable and social agriculture throughout Switzerland. Many events will take place as part of the “Days of Agroecology”. An overview.
