How we work

Alliance Sud advocates for increased development spending and for greater climate justice on the part of Switzerland. Furthermore, it stands up for greater coherence between Switzerland’s economic, trading, financial and fiscal policies and its foreign, human rights and development policy objectives.
The role of civil society remains pivotal to achieving progress in development cooperation, climate protection and coherence.
