In the beginning, our focus was on industrialisation and the growth of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the 1980s, the war on poverty came to the fore, and since the 1990s, sustainable development has defined our commitment. LEARN MORE JOBS The objective of Swisscontact’s work is to open up pathways out of poverty for people in developing countries through broad-based economic development projects. Motivated and productive employees with initiative constitute the most important success factor in all areas of our work.
