Effectiveness

To capitalize on its experience and improve its development programmes and projects, SDC needs to evaluate the effectiveness of its activities critically and systematically. This is how development cooperation and humanitarian aid will be able to achieve their central objective, which is to alleviate poverty in the widest sense.


Annual Conference 2012 Cooperation is bearing fruit: retrospect of the Conference, films, speeches and press release.		Debate on effectiveness In adopting the Millennium Development Goals, the international community set itself concrete objectives for the very first time.


Results of selected SDC programmes The following examples show how Switzerland contributes to the reduction of global poverty.		Measuring results A programme always has multiple effects: economic, social, cultural and political. To assess the validity of a project, we therefore try to analyze its results, both positive and negative.


Evaluations The work of SDC is subject to systematic critical evaluation, the aim of which is to assess the effectiveness of its projects and strategies.		Effectiveness reports and annual reports Since 2008, SDC has been publishing in-depth effectiveness reports on specific topics every two years.
