A closer look at Swiss development cooperation in Bhutan, Mongolia and the Western Balkans

September 2015: Over the past six months we have been providing advice to the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation in Bhutan, Mongolia and the Western Balkans. In Bhutan, we reviewed the implementation of the Cooperation Programme that had focussed on democratic governance and provided our recommendations for the phase out of the programme.

In the Western Balkans we critically assessed relevance, effectiveness and sustainability as well as the institutional set-up of the Swiss Regional Police Cooperation Programme. Finally, in Mongolia, we were facilitating a consultative process to develop a second phase of a vocational education and training project and drafted the corresponding project document.
