Global Credit Coordination Office South Sudan

Project completed

An action under the office's Global Credit is a one-off contribution to a development or humanitarian endeavour, with a duration of maximum 1,5 years, i.e. no following phase. It is a flexible, efficient and transparent tool to support the implementation and further development of its Cooperation Strategy, as well as further enhancing the quality of the resulting interventions. It permits seizing opportunities to improve the visibility of the Swiss presence and the Swiss Profile in South Sudan. It also provides the means for implementing SDC's Policy on promoting culture.

Coordination with other projects and actors

Actions under the Global Credit have a justification of their own and don't need to be in synergy relation with larger SDC projects. However, most of them should correspond to the main strategic domains of intervention. Special studies and CSPM & Security undertakings shall enhance knowledge on particular issues related to SDC's main- stream activities. One constant aim is to increase efficiency and enhance leverage.
