This is the first phase of the SOR4D programme. However, the SDC and the SNSF can build on extensive partnerships dating back to the 1990s in terms of fostering research in and with lower and lower-middle income countries. The most important reference is considered to be the experience within the Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d programme), a joint funding initiative of the SDC and the SNSF from 2012 to 2022.
While the r4d programme has been successful in many respects and is considered innovative by international comparison, the SOR4D programme aims to address and overcome its identified constraints. In particular it seeks to have research for development being at the service of the needs from practice and strengthen the accessibility and potential use of results in practice.
