SDC-EU Dialogue Program 2013 - 2016
The program is set up to promote more systematically complementarities and synergies with certain EU External Action policies. It seeks to establish a continuous dialogue with relevant European Commission institutions, based on a flow of relevant knowledge on development policy matters, with the aims of increasing Switzerland’s visibility at the EU level as a reliable donor and further increasing the effectiveness of Swiss international cooperation. To achieve its goals, SDC closely collaborates with a Brussels-based Think-and-Do-Tank, the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM).

| Contexte |
As the largest donor worldwide, the EU and its member states play a pivotal role in international development cooperation. The Dispatch 2013-2016 mentions knowledge management and scaling-up of successful experiences as important strategies for Swiss development aid. This program addresses fundamental issues discussed at the international level on the future role of international development cooperation, its instruments, and the international aid architecture. It, thus, contributes to the same discussion within Switzerland and to a process of gradual adjustment of Swiss international cooperation to a changing global environment.
