The High Level Forum on Development Effectiveness in Busan (Korea, Dec 2011) was the first truly multi-stakeholder and inclusive conference on development cooperation, including providers of South-south cooperation and the private sector. This evolution of the aid effectiveness responds to the changing international context, e.g. the emergence of new actors and different forms of development cooperation. As a result, the participants of this conference launched a "Global Partnership for effective development cooperation" with "common but differentiated responsibilities" that should contribute to the Post 2015 agenda. Switzerland reaffirmed the commitments taken in Accra (2005) and Paris (2008).and confirmed with more than 160 countries in Busan that implementation at the (partner) country level with partner country lead is the key to achieve better development results.

SDC’s operations and partnerships contribute to partner countries‘ development effectiveness, to the reduction of poverty and global risks.
