Development Alternatives (DA) has a
long-standing and highly fruitful relationship with the Swiss
Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Over a period
of some seventeen years, collaboration between the two
organisations has led to several noteworthy breakthroughs in
technological and institutional innovation – and in
application of these innovations. Micro Concrete Roofing
Technology, Vertical Shaft Brick Kilns, Rural Habitat Services
and the basin-South Asia network are examples of successful
initiatives that will have far-reaching environmental,
economic and social benefits for India.
The purpose of our
Strategic Partnership is to position SDC and the DA Group to
make a major contribution to the central goals of sustainable
development poverty eradication and regeneration of the
environmental resource base by strengthening their joint
capacity to design and facilitate multi-stakeholder processes
that deliver sustainable livelihood options on a large scale
and influence policies at a national scale. |
