SDC Education Fund

Proyecto terminado

As part of its increased commitment for Education and of the implementation of SDC’s Education Strategy, the SDC launches an Education Fund in order to incentivize innovation and the application of new approaches in basic education/vocational skills development and through educational activities across sectors. Innovation can have a catalytic effect on the effectiveness of programmes in and through education. Education is a core enabler for sustainable development and is an important lever in Switzerland’s commitment to promote human and economic development, peace and stability.

Contexto Education is a core enabler for sustainable development. It is a powerful lever for reducing poverty and inequality, offering economic prospects and contributing to equal chances in human development. Education plays a central role in the Agenda 2030 both as a goal on its own and as an enabler for the achievement of other goals. Yet, millions of people do not have the necessary skills and knowledge to live up to their full potential. Education (basic education and vocational skills development) is a priority in Switzerland’s Dispatch on International Cooperation 2017-20, including a planned increase of 50% in financial commitment compared to 2013-16. In 2017, SDC launched its Education Strategy which guides SDC’s Education commitment over the coming years. New programmatic approaches and the use of innovation are needed to face global challenges through education and are an integral part of the SDC Education Strategy. The SDC Education Fund is a catalytic instrument to stimulate the application of innovation in SDC bilateral and global programs.
Objetivos To increase SDCs effective implementation of SDG 4 and 8 and its contribution to the different sustainable development goals defined by the Agenda 2030 through the implementation of the SDC Education Strategy and an increase in engagement and innovation in education.
Grupos destinarios Target group of the Education Fund are the different beneficiaries, girls, boys, men, women, addressed through the Swiss Cooperation Offices in SDC partner countries, in the case of Global programs also through the representations of the relevant partner institutions.
