SDC and Swiss NGOs: trouble in paradise?

The cooperation with Swiss NGOs is of great importance to the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). In a guest article published in a variety of Swiss newspapers, SDC Director-General Patricia Danzi describes the role Swiss non-governmental organisations play in achieving the development goals, why a clear allocation of programme contributions is important and a clear demarcation from political communication is key.

“As their name suggests, NGOs are non-governmental organisations and that supposes independence, including financial independence.” – Guest article by SDC Director-General Patricia Danzi on the partnership with Swiss non-governmental organisations in development cooperation. — © FDFA
