Development cooperation and research: a promising model

Bern — The Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d programme), run by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), ended on 25 April 2024. Its completion was the occasion for the two institutions to launch the new successor programme, SOR4D, which also focuses on health, food security, social conflicts, ecosystems, work and income in developing countries. Odile Robert from the SDC offers insights into both the completed and successor programmes in this interview.

A group of women work at a table in Tanzania. Papers are laid out on it.
While building on the insights gained from r4d, the SOR4D programme focuses to an even greater extent on the actual impact in the partner countries.
