- Four colleagues from the SDC Chad and two colleagues from SDC Niger requested a tailored Market Systems Development (MSD) Training through the free support by external experts. The training took place between mid-October and mid-November 2023, consisting of online classes and offline homework. The participants not only benefitted from conceptual inputs and practical work on their own projects, but this also offered the opportunity to exchange and strengthen the connection between the two offices.

- Several SDC head office staff (VSD, PSD, PSE) and country offices requested further information about the possibility of engaging Swiss institutions and experts in hospitality and tourism. Online exchanges took place in the form of a question-and-answer session, followed by a mapping of the main Swiss actors and the sharing of additional resources. The participants benefitted from learning about previous SDC and SECO projects and an analysis of the different actors regarding their potential involvement in the different types of projects.
