Reference Indicators

​​​​​​​Aggregated Reference Indicators​ (ARIs) and Thematic Reference Indicators (TRIs) constitute the SDC's standardised indicators to monitor the implementation of Switzerland's Strategy 2021-2024 for International Cooperation (IC Strategy​). ARIs are output indicators allowing to communicate on selected achievements across a wide range of situations and countries. TRIs are indicators for outcomes to which the SDC contributes​. They d​raw upon international best practices and standards. The indicators relevant for the section CDE are presented below.​​
