• Strategic alliances between SDC and bi- and multilateral organisations are increased in accordance with the given mix of aid modalities, and
• Bi-and multilateral organisations increase the effectiveness for inclusive development cooperation through harmonisation and alignment at all state levels.

... within the Swiss programme: To promote a Conflict Sensitive Programme Management approach

The Swiss programme in Nepal will be further implemented through a Conflict Sensitive Programme Management approach thereby contributing to the following outcomes:

• Switzerland enhances through a geographic cluster approach inclusive and connected local development;
• Projects within the Swiss programme work in a conflict sensitive way;
• COOF strengthens synergies and cooperation with other Swiss programmes in South Asia as well as on the global level, with a clear focus on selected topics of regional relevance (e.g. CSPM; migration; state building; decentralization; inclusion, and environment), and
• As a learning organisation, COOF manages its knowledge and adapts its practices on the basis of lessons learned and experiences gained mainly within the Swiss programme.
