At the end of September, the SEC coordinators and the team from Zurich came together in Rabat for a week-long seminar. The objectives were to introduce the new coordinators, present and deepen their knowledge of the SEC Strategy 2028, exchange ideas, learn from previous experiences, optimise processes and strengthen the SEC identity. The intensive seminar provided valuable results and extensive materials to successfully implement the new strategy from January 2025.
New SEC focus countries from 2025
From 2025, there will be adjustments to the selection of focus countries as part of the SEC Strategy 2028. Honduras, Morocco and Rwanda will be added. In each of these countries, a new coordinator will be responsible for preparing the assignment and supervising the experts on-site. The previous focus countries Bolivia, Nepal, Cambodia and Benin will remain part of the strategic focus areas. In Eastern Europe, no country will be defined as a focus country of the SEC for the time being, and Peru will also no longer be a focus country from 2025.
Assignments in non-focus countries will still be possible in the future. However, these assignments are generally subject to a fee and are mainly carried out as part of Swisscontact projects. Thanks to the close cooperation with Swisscontact, specialised assignments that contribute to sustainable development can also be carried out in other countries.
