SDC’s countries of intervention

Switzerland’s international cooperation focuses on four priority regions: sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the Middle East, Asia and Eastern Europe.  The SDC is active in 34 countries with bilateral development cooperation projects. It also has a universal mandate to deliver humanitarian aid and provides immediate emergency assistance during crises and disasters. There are seven countries in which the SDC has maintained its commitment for several years due to the protracted nature of the crises.
