SDC and members of SwissFoundations working in Humanitarian Aid and International Cooperation will be getting to know each other at this first meeting. SwissFoundations-members are already engaged in a variety of approaches in many fields of action and many countries. Besides forming partnerships with other foundations, some foundations were wondering if a collaboration with SDC could be leading to higher impact and results that are better embedded in an overall context. The collaboration should be open in both ways, SDC inviting interested foundations to participate in her work with their knowledge and/or their financial support as well as the other way round, always respecting the scope of all parties involved.
