Working on SDC private sector engagement (PSE)

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 will require the involvement of the private sector. This view has become a reality in the past years. As many donors, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is actively pursuing a Private Sector Engagement (PSE) Strategy.

In doing so, like many other donors, the SDC has faced multiple challenges preventing them from effectively engaging with MNCs, in particular missing opportunities to collaborate with their core business.
