A look back at our anniversary celebration

Swisscontact celebrated its 60th birthday on May 16, 2019 with an event on the subject “Development cooperation in transition” at the Lake Side conference centre in Zurich. The primary focus was on the challenges of Swiss development cooperation in a globalised world.

Committed to sustainable economic development for 60 years

Since its founding 60 years ago, Swisscontact has firmly believed in the principle that people can improve their livelihoods, based on their own strength. Success is seen when people are able to participate in the local economy as producers, employees or consumers.
