Addressing Poverty in Practice
How can the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) ensure that its activities are effective in reducing poverty?
Whilst most SDC personnel are highly conscious of their global mandate to reduce poverty, interpretations of what this means in practice can vary. Furthermore, it is not always easy to keep poor and disadvantaged people foremost in mind during daily decisions and activities.
This section on the website provides SDC personnel with
practical tools and guidance in order to facilitate a pro-poor focus of SDC's strategies, programmes and projects.
This section of the website explores different ways of understanding what it means to be poor in a holistic manner – taking into account social inequities and discriminatory practices. In particular, we seek to highlight relevant global debates and issues through short articles written by development practitioners, who reflect on the implications of such global trends for field practice and for Swiss development policy.
