The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) at the Swiss Embassy in various countries offers funding to NGOs with the aim of reducing poverty. It is meant to foster economic self-reliance and state autonomy, to contribute to the improvement of production conditions, to help in finding solutions to environmental problems, and to provide better access to education and basic healthcare services.
Its operating countries are mostly from Africa, Latin America, Central Asia, South East Asia and Eastern Europe. The complete list of priority countries along with their programs is available at https://www.eda.admin.ch/deza/en/home/ countries/countries.html
