An interim review of the Swiss enlargement contribution to the EU-10 states
14 June 2012 marks the expiry date of the five-year period during which Switzerland can approve enlargement contribution projects to assist the EU-10 states. It can thus be assumed that the total amount of CHF 1 billion earmarked is fully committed up to this time as planned, even if there may be some minor delays in a few of the partner states. Switzerland’s enlargement contribution scheme has proved its worth to date and the review has been positive. The final review will happen after 2018 when all projects are completed and the enlargement contribution has been disbursed.

Wer langsam geht, kommt weit – Ein halbes Jahrhundert Schweizer Entwicklungshilfe
Historian René Holenstein, who also works for the SDC, has studied the Agency’s half-century record as a provider of development assistance.
