Notification under Article 16:2 of the Agreement:  Monitoring of the Follow-Up to the Decision
on Measures Concerning the Possible Negat ive Effects of the Reform Programme on
Least-Developed and Net-Food-Importing Developing Countries:  SWITZERLAND
REPORTING PERIOD:  Calendar years 1999 to 2002
1. Quantity of food aid provided to least-developed and net-food-importing developing
countries.
Switzerland's contributions to cereal aid ar e made within framework of the Food Aid
Convention, which was renegotiated in 1999.  As a co-signatory of that agreement Switzerland has
undertaken to make an annual contribution of 40,000 tonnes of wheat equivalent.
Such aid is generally provided in cash and not in kind and is mainly made available through
the World Food Programme (WFP; development programme) for the purchase of cereals in the
developing countries.  The cereals purchased come mainly from the Southern countries or from those
countries neighbouring the region benefiting so as to stimulate production in those countries and at the
same time raise the level of tolerance, among the recipients, of the goods delivered ("triangular
purchases").  Such aid also has the advantage of combining the distribution of foodstuffs with that ofseed, thereby preventing the formation of food dependency.
In addition to the aid to the WFP, Switzerland regularly provides deliveries of Swiss dairy
products.  Such aid meets the "criteria for the use of dairy products as part of food aid", which lay
down the rules to be followed in evaluating the distribution of dairy products and in carrying out such
distribution.
Tables 1 and 2 provide information on the distribution of the food aid provided by
Switzerland.  This aid forms part of Switzerland's hum anitarian aid.  The aid provided is not allocated
on the basis of the criteria of "least-developed countries" (LDCs) or "net-food-importing developing
countries" (NFIDCs), but solely in response to the need for humanitarian aid of the regions affected
by natural or other such disasters.  In actual fact, however, the countries benefiting from Swiss
programmes largely overlap with those two groups (cf. Table 2:  Food aid in form of grain, flour or
seed in wheat equivalent).
In addition to direct aid in the form of food products, Swiss humanitarian aid is provided in
the form of financial contributions.  The funds assigned to that end have served three main purposes:to provide logistical support and staff for organizations responsible for distributing foodstuffs on the
ground;  to establish and maintain the transport infrastructure;  to ensure the maintenance of
distribution systems in the beneficiary countries.  The assistance provided also includes long-term
development programmes as well as emergency relief.  See section 3 below.G/AG/N/CHE/30

2. Indication of the proportion in fully gr ant form or appropriate concessional terms
All Swiss food aid is provided on fully grant terms.
3. Technical and financial assistance under paragraph 3(iii) of the Decision
As Switzerland's technical and financial assistance is not directed solely to the two categories
of countries, i.e. the LDCs and NFIDCs, there foll ows a brief description of its official development
assistance (see tables below).  However, this shows that Swiss aid in this field mainly responds – both
by its nature and its objectives – to the needs of the LDCs and the NFIDCs.
Swiss official development assistance amounts to about 1.5 billion francs per year, i.e. some
0.32 – 0.34 per cent of the gross national product or, to put it another way, 0.58 Swiss Francs per
inhabitant per day (1999-2002).  The total amount includes all the financial flows provided on
concessional terms to the developing countries, international institutions and non-governmental
organizations from the Swiss Confederation, the cantons and communes.
The objectives of Swiss international cooperation are as follows:
- International cooperation supports the efforts of the developing countries to improve
the standard of living of their people;
- international cooperation should help to put these countries in a position to ensure
their development by their own means.
Guidelines of the development policy reflec t four main themes:  the preservation and
maintenance of peace and security and the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law;
the promotion of prosperity and the strengthening of the basic conditions for sustainable development,
the promotion of social justice - in particular, the situation of women - and, finally, the protection of
the natural environment.
Two federal offices are responsible for the planning and practical implementation of the
development aid:  the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) within the FederalDepartment of Foreign Affairs (DFA), and the St ate Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) within
the Federal Department of Economic Affairs (DEA).  Their main instruments are technical
cooperation, financial aid, economic and trade measures and humanitarian aid.  Action is coordinated
by the SDC.
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation has three main components.
Development cooperation involves long-term activities and, on this basis, concentrates its bilateral
activities in 17 countries of the South, in particular LDCs and NFIDCs, although it also provides
support for programmes in other regions through international organizations.
Humanitarian aid is provided without geographical restrictions or distinctions of nationality,
race, religion, sex or membership of any political or  social group.  It intervenes directly for shorter
periods so as to provide relief for the victims of conf licts, of crises resulting from them or of natural
disasters.  It also supports the activities of humanitarian organizations.  Its action takes the form of the
provision of staff through the Swiss Disaster Reli ef Unit, financial contributions and deliveries of
foodstuffs.G/AG/N/CHE/30
Page 7
For its part, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs devises the economic and trade
measures for development cooperation:  joint fina ncing – involving both the Confederation and Swiss
banks – balance-of-payments aid, trade promotion acti vities and, in conjunction with the international
community, action on behalf of basic products.  SECO is also the main body involved in the strategy
of providing debt relief for the most indebted countries.G/AG/N/CHE/30
