The Directorate for Development and Cooperation (DSC) is Switzerland's largest competence center for international cooperation and, in collaboration with other federal offices, implements Switzerland's foreign policy in the areas of humanitarian aid, development cooperation and cooperation with Eastern Europe. It helps beneficiary countries fight poverty and overcome global challenges.

One of the priorities of the DSC is to support fragile and conflict-affected countries.
